Dan Smigrod: Item number 2, a tripod dolly, the short link www.WGAN.INFO/2 and this is $64.

[00:12:41]
Kevin Dole: For $64, this is a pretty nicely made; sturdy tripod from a Chinese company. This company, Neewer, is seeing pretty impressive gear. Things I like about this: it gives you a little carrying case to keep it clean when you're not using it. Also handle. Handle?

Yes. You can throw it over your shoulder. There's a Velcro strap that keeps the thing collapsed, stored in the case. You pull that strap off, just like that and it's up, ready to roll. I take the Velcro strap and just curled around itself so that it's not dangling in the way of the wheels or anything.

[00:13:25]
Kevin Dole: Each of the arms can be extended. A fair amount depending on how wide the spread on your tripod is, depending on how high your tripod is. There are clip latches so that it's very quick to do that. The legs of the tripod get locked into their sockets on the end of the arms by a screw thing. You have to tighten it up....

We'd have to extend it anyway. But anyway, it's a great little tripod. The wheels lock. Step on them with your foot there and then they won't roll. If you're on an incline or any place that it's going to move around, it's very easy to lockdown.

When you want to lock one or all three. You're done. You pull those two pins, collapse it up, put the Velcro around, stick it back in the bag.

[00:14:26]
Dan Smigrod: What caused you to buy this? What was the problem you were trying to solve?

[00:14:32]
Kevin Dole: When you do something like a Petco or Best Buy and you're going to be scanning 60,000 to 70,000 SQ FT you don't want to carry that thing around on your arm. Or most of these stores are just one flat level. You roll it around all day.

Adjust the height. This adds about four inches, maybe. Just adjust the height accordingly and you roll that thing and it saves you. You'd be dead by the end of the day if I had to pick up and move that tripod every time.

[00:15:04]
Dan Smigrod: I've heard two benefits. One is it keeps you alive because you're not killing yourself carrying a [6.5] pound Matterport Pro2 3D Camera on top of a heavy-duty tripod for 10 hours. Two; it sounded like speed. You're just able to do the job that much faster.

[00:15:27]
Kevin Dole: I wouldn't do those jobs without wheels. You got to have wheels doing those large scans.

[00:15:35]
Dan Smigrod: Eric, what time savings is this? Does it make it half the time? Twenty-five percent less time?

[00:15:44]
Kevin Dole: It's 50 percent less exhaustion. That's for sure.

[00:15:48]
Eric Dole: Yeah. You'd save a few seconds every time. I mean, all that adds up.

[00:15:53]
Kevin Dole: It adds up a little bit in terms of time, but the major thing is that strain on your body.

[00:16:01]
Dan Smigrod: I have the same one. I've been totally happy with it. Before we move on, was there anything else to say on that item?

[00:16:09]
Kevin Dole: Yes. I learned about this from you.

[00:16:15]
Dan Smigrod: It's funny. Well, that must be why I have the same item. I thought the price was right. There are a number of options when it comes to these tripods, but for the price and it works and is fully reliable.
