RENT DANA DOLLY / KIT (ADD SPEEDRAIL) Features
The Dana Dolly Provides Unmatched Smooth Gliding
Produce film recordings that are worthy of airtime with the Dana Dolly camera wheeled cart. This heavy-duty mobile platform sports 16 custom machined track wheels that guarantee smooth and hassle-free dolly movements over a six- to eight-foot range. Because the wheels are designed to be softer than those typically found in other camera dolly systems, the Dana Dolly eliminates bounces and shakes by providing a better grip on the tracks. The 16 machined track wheels are also intelligently crafted to be rounded within 1/1,000 of an inch, eliminating the pitfalls common with their hard skateboard-type counterparts.
Smooth gliding is made more attainable, as the Dana Dolly comes with floating trucks measuring just under 12 inches (30.5 cm) on the center of the track pipes. Take advantage of the swiveling track wheels and easily apply this feature on a separate curved track. With the Dana Dolly, you get to enjoy professionally stabilized shots and practice various cinematic techniques, helping you capture mesmerizing shots that will dazzle your audience.
With the Dana Dolly Portable Dolly System, you get to execute tracking shots,steady zooms, precise movements, and much more with seamless effort. All the components of the Dana Dolly can be assembled in a matter of minutes, which means you can focus your energies on other aspects of production. Each part of the panning apparatus is built with the finest materials to ensure safe transitions during set changes and relocations.
Key features include:
- Robust machined 6061 aluminum dolly platform
- 16 soft polyurethane track wheels
- ABEC-7 rated precision bearings
- Heavy-duty 100 lb (45.4 kg) load-bearing capacity
- 1.5 to 1.9 inch (3.8 to 4.8 cm) outer track diameter
- 14 x 10 inches (35.6 x 25.4 cm) in dimensions
- 45 lb (20.4 kg) total weight
Reduce Compromising Distractions with the Dana Dolly
The Dana Dolly is equipped with multiple noise reduction measures, guaranteeing seamless and truly value-adding transitions to your production. As all 16 track wheels are produced simultaneously using the same machine, each piece is standardized and uniform. This allows the Dana Dolly to deliver stable movements from one point of the rail track to the other.
Machined wheels also reduce squeaks and other unwanted sounds. Coupled with the ingenious placement of a felt washer between the dolly platform and the wheel trucks, the Dana Dolly efficiently reduces -if not totally eliminates- self-generated noise. This makes it the perfect camera dolly for scenes that demand absolutely no external sound interference, giving you exactly what you need without post-production touch-ups.
The Dana Dolly works not only to fight against undesirable auditory noise, but optical noise as well. Its black industrial finish prevents unintended light reflections from being caught in your recordings, in addition to giving it a sleek, professional look.
Rugged & Able to Withstand Heavy Loads
Equip your camera with a number of performance-enhancing accessories and load it onto the Dana Dolly without worry. All 16 track wheels are meticulously made with soft polyurethane, giving it a higher load-bearing capacity. With a maximum limit of 100 pounds (45.35 kg), the Dana Dolly can easily bear the weight of heavy cameras. Moreover, the machined round wheels effectively combat flat spotting and resist corrosion when used in humid environments.
Use the Dana Dolly to shoot continuously for up to one full hour with the load bearing capacity maxed out and be free from any catastrophic repercussions. Get the same optimum output at 100°F (37.8°C) and on unruly setup surfaces.
Guaranteed Secure & Reliable Performance
Create stunning cinematic effects seamlessly with the Dana Dolly. This state-of-the-art portable dolly system is constructed partly with 6061 aluminum alloy (which contains alloying elements like magnesium and silicon). This robust material is known for its dependable toughness and rust-resistant properties, which are clearly demonstrated in its applications in aircraft and marine fittings. The entire platform of the Dana Dolly is molded entirely out of 6061 aluminum alloy, ensuring a secure foundation for your camera.
The Dana Dolly Kit includes a center support to further safeguard your camera from potential damage. Not only does this bonus tool provide added protection to eavy cameras, but also ensures steady fixture during long track runs. As per the manufacturer's recommendation, the Dana Dolly works best with a standard speed rail or a Schedule 80 aluminum pipe in a compatible size.
This isn't to say that this camera dolly lacks flexibility in track compatibility. Its two universal track ends accept a 1.25-inch speed rail pipe and even a 1.9-inch OD galvanized steel track. A Mitchell Mount is also present for non-standard adapters. Rounding it all up, the Dana Dolly has ABEC-7 rated precision bearings, which is the second highest rating for tight tolerance, giving the camera dolly a superior precision part advantage over other available brands in the market.
