Why were they disappointing?

Hi Christopher,
I can tell you that I got the PB unit on a Thursday (November), and shot with it and the AF 100 for a food shoot the following Saturday. It was a great fit, the client and director loved it, and the DP (me) and the operator were very pleased with the quality and overall usability. Lovely kit that people want to use.
Food shoot client's boss didn't like the footage, though. He thought the footage was too good - he thought people would think it was stock photography. He wanted to re-shoot so it didn't look so good.
<sigh>

They make a good product.
I built a doorway dolly size unit with skateboard wheels and runs on PVC.
Then a Dana Dolly size unit with skateboard wheels and runs on speed rail.
And purchased the Pocket Dolly which rounds out my dollys.
All are very smooth and quiet, which is a requirement when shooting with sound.
