Motorized Rotating Display Stand Recommendations?

[JoLydee]

I have a bunch of minis I'd like to video.
What would you recommend for photographing groups of minis and small scenes?

I'd like to have one that can move slow enough to capture and compare a group of different figures but fast enough to capture a single 360 of a model without taking to long.

Prefer a 12" base but options seem limited at that size.

So I film a lot of spinning minis for my youtube channel - I just bought a cheap rechargeable rotating stand (got a matte white once, since that is the colour of backdrop I use in my lightbox. I will likely try get a Chroma-Green one too at some point so I can key out things more easily.

It does have adjustable speed, but I always just keep it on its slowest rotation - and I generally still want it even slower still, so my go-to process to get it to about the speed I want is to film it at the highest speed available on my camera 60 FPS, and then use my video editing software to slow that down to 24 FPS that my videos are in - that way you're not dealing with generated or smeared frames and still get a good speed to the rotation - but in general by filming at faster speeds, you can then adjust down to slower frame rates and match things to the speed you actually want to display things at.

Size doesn't seem to matter much for the turntable itself much - it can handle pretty large things, and even heavy things like Books (in a stand) fairly handily. If you're doing a scene you could even put a larger base to do the scene on, and as long as its centred well, it will look just fine - could do that with cardboard, or plywood etc.
The real key is getting a nice even lighting - so I definitely recommend a light box sized appropriately for the things you expect to film - they aren't too expensive for a basic one. I also recommend a tripod to ensure the camera stays stationary - I use my phone for most filming, and the ones with 3 flexible leg things work great with that - and the phone grip does come off and leaves a threaded bolt for a standard camera mount if you have a good one.

The turntable, tripod and lightbox, for basic ones on amazon, are $15-25 each, so not much for pretty good results.

There's quite a few turntable options out there, and many are quite inexpensive.

I went with the slightly more expensive Foldio 360, and have been very happy with it. You control it via a smart phone and it has 3 different speeds:

If you search on Google or Amazon for "photography turntable" you will get a good idea of the many products available.
