The Dana Dolly Portable Dolly System Rental Kit with universal track ends is designed for the times where you just want to do a little 6' to 8' dolly move without a lot of setup. This is an indispensable choice for every professional cinematographer. Supporting a camera payload of up to 100 lbs, it features 16 custom modified soft polyurethane wheels with floating trucks facilitating smooth rides on round & straight tracks and ABEC-7-rated precision bearings for extremely smooth movements. This kit is complete with 75 mm, 100 mm, and 150 mm bowl adapters for a variety of shooting scenarios. The included Mitchell mount is equipped with an elongated key way, which lets you use non-standard adapters. The platform incorporates one 3/8" through hole, one 1/4"-20 threaded hole, and one 3/8"-16 threaded hole on each side of the dolly platform for a total of 6 accessory mounting holes.

 The manufacturer recommends using standard speed rail or Schedule 80 aluminum pipe of compatible size. The dolly includes two universal track ends and a center support which can use any 1 1/4" pipe as a track: aluminum, stainless steel, etc., and fit into available standard junior stand receivers or 5/8" Baby pins. There is also a monitor mount with a ball head adapter. For storage purposes, a hard case comes with this package.

 16 Track Wheel Design

The key to the Dana dolly's smooth ride are the 16 custom machined track wheels. All 16 track wheels are produced simultaneously using the same machine, therefore, 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 during use. 16 soft polyurethane wheels give dolly a higher load-bearing capacity and eliminate the "bounce" that normal skateboard wheels suffer from. You can park the dolly with 100 pounds of camera and accessories on the track at 100° F for an hour without the wheels flat spotting.

Wheel Trucks

The wheel trucks can swivel on the dolly, which allows it to ride on straight and round track. Coupled with the ingenious placement of a felt washer between the dolly platform and the wheel trucks, the Dana Dolly efficiently reduces 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 included T-Tool features a 1/2, 9/16, and 3/8" ends that allows you to tighten the wheel trucks using the 9/16th end to suit your taste.

 Mitchell Mount

The dolly plate has a standard Mitchell Mount milled into the center that can take all types of camera heads and features an elongated key way, allowing you to use non-standard adapters. The kit includes three standard sizes of ball-mount adapters: 75mm, 100mm, and 150mm.

 Track Supports

Track supports fit into available standard Junior stand receivers or 5/8" Baby pin, although Dana Dolly recommends the use of available beefy baby stands at a minimum and to avoid thin walled aluminum stands

 Quality Build

This state-of-the-art portable dolly system is molded entirely out of 6061 aluminum alloy, ensuring a secure foundation for your camera. Dana dolly’s black industrial finish prevents unintended light reflections from being caught in your recordings, in addition to giving it a sleek, professional look.
