One-Step Easy Lock Locking Wheels

Description

Features:

This Tripod Dolly is an excellent dolly for use with your professional camera and video tripods, light stands, and background stands.

Our tripod dolly is very compact and portable and would be a great addition to your studio.

The tripod dolly is basically the same thing as a tripod with the added feature of having wheels attached at the bottom.

The wheels make it easy to create a moving shot while adding the freedom to move the tripod around with ease.

This is a very convenient way of still being able to use the tripod and easily maneuver it without the hassle of having to carry it wherever you go.

The adjustable foot locks also allow you the benefit to lock the wheels in place.

Specifications:

Folds down to 57cm (22.5")

Weighs 2.4kg (5.3 lbs)

Adjustable to fit any tripod

Adjustable foot locks to lock the tripod down

Wheel locks on all 3 wheels

Metal wheels with nylon "tires"

Wheels measure 2 3/4" in diameter

2. Ravelli ATD Tripod Dolly for Camera Photo Lighting

Feature

Metal Ball Bearing Casters with 3" Rubber Wheels and Step Function Locking
Sliding Adjustable Leg Locks with Maximum Diameter spread of 36"
Folding Design with Adjustable Length Legs and Carry Handle and Carry Bag
Allows for Relatively Smooth Rolling Movement but Not Jitter Fee Video Movement
Ravelli Lifetime Warranty

Description

The Ravelli ATD Tripod Dolly is designed to allow rolling movement of your tripod or light stand from one location to another without lifting. It uses large rubber surfaced wheels. The 3" wheels are lockable with step function locking. On each leg of the dolly are sliding adjustable foot locks for your tripod or stand. The dolly is collapsible and has a carry handle and a carry bag. The legs disassemble into two sections for shorter storage if desired. Each dolly leg is 16" long allowing for a maximum diameter spread of 36".

The larger rubber wheels with ball bearings do allow for relatively smooth rolling motion. However, this may not be sufficient for truly zero jitter video. Actual results will vary based on the smoothness of the ground surface and the presence of any dirt or debris.

If you are looking for ultra smooth video, possibly better options would be a mounted glider/slider on the top of the tripod or a floor mounted track system.

Professional Full Size Fluid Head Tripod 72"

It's one thing to shoot an occasional home video on something with three legs and a "fluid-effect" head. However, if you happen to do it every day for a living, it is quite a different situation. Conditions may vary from live reporting in bad weather to press conferences on polished wood floors, and your shots must look good, reliably. This calls for something of a much higher caliber.

Rotary clamps firmly lock each section in place regardless of temperature fluctuations. The hard rubber feet which terminate each leg stand firmly alone. For transport, a convenient mechanism quickly hooks all three legs together when collapsed.

3-Way Fluid Panhead
Rapid-Action Locks Legs
Built In Bubble Leveling
Deluxe Soft Case
3-Sec. Aluminum Legs

The tripod dolly includes 2.5" hard rubber wheels and locks. It folds easily for storage in the included zippered case. The dolly securely clamps to any camera tripod allowing for rolling a tripod on a smooth hard surface.

Adjustable screws allows you to securely attach tripods of all sizes
Locking Metal pins help prevent wobbling and keep your tripod secure.
Safety latches lock the wheels in place, keeping your tripod and camera still.

7. Glide Gear SYL 960 Floor Tripod Track Dolly Hybrid with Caster and Track Wheels

Feature

Folds up with carry bag for easy transportation and storage
Four high quality polyurethane wheels made specifically for track movement
6061 anodized aluminum alloy with stainless steel hardware
Heavy duty-can accommodate cameras up to 40lbs
Legs can slide out to make extra 5" longer

Description

The SYL-960 Elite Camera Track Dolly Hybrid from Glide Gear features swivel & slide wheels. It is machined from aircraft grade 6061 anodized aluminum alloy to very tight tolerances for maximum precision and strength. So, although this system is strong enough to be used with rigs exceeding 35 lb, it is only a few pounds in weight, and folds up to be carried in the carry bag. At the heart of the SYL-960 track dolly system is the sliding swivel wheel system. These wheels are not only full 360 swivel but are also able to freely slide within the wheel housing in any direction by an extra 1 (25.4mm). This means that the track can be as uneven as 2 (50.8mm) in places and still not affect the smooth operation of the Glide Gear SYL-960 track dolly. In addition to all of these features, the SYL-901 is a hybrid that can easily be converted into a rolling camera dolly with the included regular swivel wheel casters. Each swivel track wheel assembly comes with 4 track wheels for maximum stability and each caster wheel has 360 swivel and locking mechanism. These track wheels are made for movement along a track and have as much surface area in contact with the track surface as possible.
