Wow, thanks for the comments and suggestions! It is pretty remarkable how well CineSkates have been accepted!

For the weight question... Joby does rate the Focus tripod to 11 lbs, but I set the limit on the CineSkates System at 5 lbs. The reason for this is that the system loses stability at higher weights. You can go above the 5 lb limit, but it is harder to set up. The system really does its best below 5 lbs. We hope to develop something to support heavier cameras in the near future, and also CineSkates for smaller GorillaPods.

We're working on new attachments and trying to prioritize which ones will come first. Some things on the list are wheels to roll down tubes, pneumatic wheels for rolling on rough surfaces, a motorized wheel for time-lapse, a portable roll-up smooth surface and magnets and suction cups.

I'd beyond appreciate your thoughts on our future products!!

And, Chris the press has been awesome! And, It all started at DVINFO! THANKS!

Thanks everyone,
Justin
