You Move Me

I’ve run dollies on rails. Shims, sandbags, apple boxes, the level and track itself makes for a long setup, but of course a dynamic shot. A few years ago at the Rocky Mountain Video Expo I dropped a DVD in my bag at the convention that was the highlight of the show for me. It was the Skater
And how can you go wrong with Denmark engineering? They gave us the simplistic beauty that is a Lego. But closer to home we have a less expensive and more versatile skater type dollies. The first was the Axis Dolly pictured below.


Now Digital Juice has their own Orbit Dolly (pictured below) for a thousand dollars less and that looks remarkably similar to the Axis Dolly and with the Digital Juice marketing machine it is no great mystery what most consumers will choose.



If you’d like to contribute to my Orbit Dolly fund just drop me a line.
