falk eggert Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I have taken quite some time to commit to a dolly. I am in South Africa, so I had a limitation in terms of choice... imported equipment immediately costs anywhere from 20-50% more. My requuirement has been a system which is light, for travel, easy to set up, requires no assistance, and durability. I found a locally manufactured system, which comes packed into a single bag, is nice and robust and will handle anything from a 790 down to a Z1. I ended up buying a fly-dolly which is locally made. it cost about $1600, and so far has been worth every penny. the shots are super steady, even with a large load on the track. I can really recommend it to all fellow dolly users (admitedly its not a grips final choice, but if you are doing doc and corporate fils or music videos, you will love it) Falk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Hartman Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Pictures? We like pictures, even grips are visual people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stuen Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 http://www.fly-dolly.com/ seems to be what he is talking about. Weighs just under 22lbs with 9' of track. This could be nice for HD doc work. Comparatively, a 4' slider weighs 35-60lbs depending on the brand and material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
