"As soon as I started to work with it (shooter scooter), I quickly
became conviced that the sales pitch on this particular inexpensive dolly system was right on."
Jay Holben
Review for American Cinematographer
I used the Shooter Scooter extensively in the making of the documentary 'Braindamadj'd' both in the studio and on location. It was the perfect tool... carrying the gear, then quickly turning into a camera dolly.
This year the documentary was nominated for four and winner of two Gemini Awards.

The shooter scooter was a godsend. On a shoot with dozens of setups, the shooter scooter saved us time and money. The shooter scooter cut our production time by more than a third. It's flexability, ease of use and super smooth wheels made tracking shots quick to set up and a snap to execute.
This is an essential weapon in our arsenal of tools.

If your budget can't afford the time or money for a Fisher or Chapman
dolly, you should seriously consider the Shooter Scooter. Actually, you should consider it regardless of what you can afford. What I like about this product unlike others is that it is small, light, and mobile. Set up is a breeze and before anyone knows it you're already shooting. But it gets better. This
thing has a stability belt that locks you in tightly, in any position allowing
me to get the best angle without any discomfort or need for self-
stabilization! The result is much smoother shots because I can lean my
full body weight on the belt and never have any fear of falling over.
-- Highly recommended.

We recently used the "shooter scooter" on a corporate video. The product was outstanding. It afforded us the opportunity to have "fluid movement" in our production. I would recommend this to anyone. I look forward using this product again in the very near future.

The Shooter Scooter is Awesome!! Full on downtown, guerilla action!!! We
loaded it up with our gear, parked the car and we were off!! 2 hours and 4
three and a half minute tracking shots later we had it in the can!! Can't beat it!!

"The client loved the shooter scooter! Used the Glidecam and stood on the platform, rolling over floor rugs and tile. All the shoots looked great. I already
built a seat that spans the frame so I can shoot sitting down with the Glidecam hanging over the side, for the low shots. Easy and much faster than rigging
the low mode cage on the Glidecam."

As a Micro Jib owner quick setup and relocation are necessities, the shooter
scooter provides both.. I had the opportunity to try the shooter scooter with the
micro Jib and found the two to be a perfect match. Installing the Micro jib on the scooter was a breeze, and with the scooters low center of gravity, balancing the
jib was no problem. In fact the shooter scooter was able to add the dynamic of
an on air dolly move either on track or with wheels in combination with the craning from a jib shot. Wheeling all the jib parts including weights to the shoot location is a bonus, to then assemble everything and conclude shooting after only one trip from the van. Need I say more!!!
