Chris Millar Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I got 'operator' training on the Techno Dolly at the Super Techno factory in Pilzn, CZ ... Got the t-shirt, the handshake from Martin and Jan etc. The counterweights weren't mentioned - they were considered someone else's job presumably, or too basic for training - I don't know? But keep in mind I was distinguished as an operator, i.e. I programmed the thing moving - potential disconnect between the person who balanced the crane and the person who commands it later in the day. They seemed confident with me trying to find out how I could make it fail - it had the bogey type casters that someone mentioned earlier - so perhaps no tips, but I reckon I could probably make the whole track and unit slide along the ground and slip on it's wedges after a hard stop. Anyhoo, since then I've relocated into a city without one :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny N Suleimanagich Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I was looking for that but didn't see it yet. On second look, it's not the case. The whole thing just tips, but for a second it looks like the platform mount buckles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg MacPherson Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 In the Duojib manual the photo looks like the jib arm is equal length both sides. If so then starting from a balanced, unloaded arm, the added balance loads will equal the added loads on the camera end. So weighing or knowing the weight of the cam op, focus puller and camera gives the required balancing load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
