Well Matt, unfortunatly, I have some experience with this dolly. A DP I grip for has one and I cringe every time I see it on the truck. It's sort of a joke now but the laughter fades when it rolls out. It' energized by the small co2 tanks. As far as I can tell, the co2 pressurizes the hydraulic resivoir that operates the post. I know that because just two days ago I was on a shoot with it and the oil leaked out on the truck. The DP asked me to fix it in my shop so as soon as I get the job I'm working on out of the shop I'll tear into it. I dolly grip for him but I have an FX company and he thinks I can fix or build anything. That's a little frightening in itself. As far as the dolly is concerned, I'd keep looking for something else. It drifts terribly, the steering selector sucks. The wheels get square if you sit for any length of time...etc,etc... Good Luck Jared
