24May Pico Dolly with Self Contained Motorized Trailer
Here’s a look at a prototype motorized trailer sent to me today and it’s attached to a PNC Pico Dolly. Still a prototype, it’s supposed be universal and have some mounting options to attach to several different dollies or maybe even sliders? The idea is to have a motorized push cart to have consistent movement all of the motors, batteries, wiring, and switches all self contained into one little unit.
There’s a few 1/4×20 threads to mount other accessories on the little push car too. From the image it looks like it’s around 4″ wide. I have no additional information about availability or pricing at this time. What do you guys think about something like this?

It looks kinda like a toy, but it’s genius.

I don’t see the use of motorized for a table top sliders.

Love my Pico dolly so would be interested in trying out a motor for it. If it can be designed to be also rigged to my Cinevate FLT slider for motorized timelapse shooting, it will be AWESOME! (Maybe the wheels need to be removed and a string winder device might need to be attached?)

I would buy this if it had a variable speed switch from really slow for time lapse photography.
Please mass produce this
