  1. I own the one made by Griptech. http://griptech.net.au/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=50 I think it is far superior to Chapmans.
  2. Try ordering the Tube Track Wheels or TTW from fisher next time. These wheels work fine...and you dont have to lift the dolly everytime it goes on track.
  3. I much prefer using bobinet scrim over wire. You can find heavier bobinet. All my doubles are single layer doubles. The material is bobinet with tighter bobins. This is nice for larger frames when using them to shoot through, you get a lot less moire. You can graduate nets easily by setting one net and the clipping another to it at the place where you want with #1 handy claps or binder clips. Many places in LA will custom make graduated nets for you if you wish to spend the money. Personally, I would just clip them as needed so you can make adjustments and have versatility in your grip package.
  4. My advice to you would be to step down as a Key and spend more time learning the job of a Grip. This is one of the most basic rigs in Gripping. It is taught at IATSE saftey classes. People can get killed by doing this wrong. If you are not willing to sacrifice your ego here for the sake of your crew and the actor's then consider hiring a rigging key or someone else who knows what they are doing. If you decide to ignore this and try it on your own, please warn the rest of the crew. Please don't gamble with their lives. My two cents...
