Hello Dolly: CineSkate Puts Wheels On The GorillaPod

When we saw the CineKkates, we think "Why would you wish to put wheels onto a partial tripod and circle your camera around on the ground?" Then we saw the promo video, shot with the CineSkates itself. Check it out:

CineSkates is a Kickstarter plan so renouned that it completed its $20,000 objective in a day, and then blew past that up to $141,000 (and counting). It's simple: a set of 3 movement wheels attaches to the feet of a GorillaPod Focus , and you turn and bend its jointed legs until the wheels are lined up the way you wish them. A ball-head up tip lets you set the camera to your elite angle, and then you beginning shooting.

The idea is that you right away have a tiny, unstable dolly for sharpened video, usually this dolly doesn't just, erm, dolly along. It lets you perform swoops and curves depending on the angles set is to wheels.

The CineSkates vice onto the ball-shaped feet of the Joby GorillaPod. There are two parts: The circle public contains the wheels and a bracket, and the vice division joins this to the tripod. The modular pattern is there to capacitate future enlargement - robotic wheels and mounts for not similar tripods are both planned.

You can collect up the CineSkates by pledging $150. The sell cost on launch will be $200. Pledge $275 and you obtain the CineSkates in addition to the tripod and ballhead, that will go for $350 in stores.
