understanding the need for a portable and affordable camera slider for everyday people, Texas-based start-up Cinetics created this gadget, dubbed as CineSkates. so what does this thing do? well, as you can see, it is basically a GorillaPod Focus on wheels. instead of cumbersome and expensive professional equipment, CineSkates allows user to do smooth tracking shots with a small portable and affordable device. plus the fact that it is based on the proven GorillaPod Focus, means the CineSkates is embodied with the flexibility when needed – be it arching or twisting to an awkward angle or whatever – and yet still achieving a steady and smooth video footage that up till now, budget videographers can only dream about.
