Dolly Buying Advice

Recommended Posts

Hi everybody,

 

Am hoping someone could offer some buying advice here.

 

I am looking to buy a Spyder type dolly and jib arm, new or used and would prefer to buy in the states and ship to UK as my £ buys some good $ at the moment, requirements are.

 

Good quality, 2 Wheel Steer, 4 Wheel crab, Pneumatic Tyres/Wheels, must be able to take a jib.

 

It is to be used in the studio only, on a good flat floor so no track required.

 

What advantages does a centre column have over other configurations.

 

Any thoughts or ideas greatly appreciated.

 

Sorry if these are dumb questions, I am new to this. 20+ years of advertising stills photography behind me, but I now have 3 clients chasing for some moving imagery.

 

Almost forgot Budget Approximately: Dolly $ 6,000, Jib Arm $ 1500 + Shipping+Import taxes

 

Many Thanks
