Dolly recommendations requested

S

Stephen Best

I'm in the market for a dolly system costing < $2,500 for a feature (see Saving Dinah). We're using a GH2 in a cage for most of the shots, but also a Sony EX1. There's a number of products available from Kessler Flex Track, Indie Dolly Systems, Merlin Video which fit the budget. A flex track system seems a good way to go.

So, looking for recommendations from folks who might have some experience with the products on the market.

Thanks.

Wheels are critical. I have to upgrade mine. I bought what I could get cheap/on sale and they are too soft. Spend a lot of time rolling the bumps out. It cannot stay stationary for even 30 seconds with weight on it, must be rolled back and forth constantly.

Yes, I changed the wheels for bigger (80mm), softer ones and had to make space for them but well worth it. They are pro wheels from 20 buck blades i found in an Oxfam store in Camden town. The wheels I had before were pure pants that gave the dolly a jolt on each rotation.
