Even with my slider and reveal shots, the product felt static and somewhat boring... so I went on Amazon looking to spend under 100 buck to try to improve them.
ENTER this wonderful 360 Electric Turntable! My interest was peaked when I remembered all those spinny jewelry product shots, but when I saw the price and the reviews, my attention was fully captivated. So I got it, and boy am I GLAD!
As you can see with this sample video of my CPU, the turntable took the shot to a whole different level in terms of Epic reveal and professionalism! And all my other shots are just as COOL! I am very pleased with this product.
Pros:
- Extremely simple to use (plug in, turn on, DONE)
- Capable of heavy payloads (I spun my PC case, which is around 30 lbs atm)
- DC powered so I can literally leave it running while try different angles and shots without worrying about batteries
- Super quiet, although probably won't matter for B-roll
- Has rubber feet so it is stable, rotation is smooth and at an excellent speed for 24 fps
- Sleek and minimal design, black color helps it not stand out so the product can instead
- Super AFFORDABLE (I know I mentioned this before but if I had know before I saw this, I would have been spinning products long ago
Cons:
- Simplicity comes at a cost - there is one speed, so shooting at higher fps will make the spin slower
- No battery option - this one matters way less to me since I'll always be using it in a studio, but if you plan to spin something atop a mountain, bring a generator
In conclusion, I highly recommend it if you're going to be doing a lot of product highlights and B-roll in a studio type environment like I do. Would DEFINITELY buy again!
