The Losmandy Spider Dolly:
This dolly is the most portable professional dolly on the market. Combined with a piece of FlexTrak, the simple 3-Leg Spider (see below) converts your tripod into an inexpensive, extremely portable, tracking dolly. Add a fourth leg, and you can further accessorize it, as pictured here, to be a fully rideable dolly with adjustable center column, foot platforms, and pushbar. Three small cases allow it to be checked through as luggage on an airline.
This spider dolly and track can combine with our Port-a-Jib arm and give limitless camera moves and give you just that extra edge, for a truly professional look.
The FlexTrak:
This amazing seamless dolly track can be configured in straight runs that can suddenly curve in any radius or direction. The basic unit is 40', which will loop to make one 17' run. 2 pieces side by side will create a 40' run. Each section rolls up into a 2' diameter bundle and weighs 40 lbs. creating unprecedented portability for a track rigid enough to support an operator, yet flexible enough to curve into a 90 degree turn with a 2' radius.
The key to FlexTrak's success lies in the unique capability of our Spider Dolly's track wheels, which are designed with double articulating arms that create the ability to negotiate sharp radius turns. It can also work with other dolly systems because the outer diameter of the FlexTrak is the same as that of standard steel track. However, other manufacturer's dollies may not work as well on our FlexTrak.
