The Skater / table top dolly enables you to get tracking shots on a table, board or any smooth surface.
With high quality 80mm diameter wheels running on radial ball bearings, the skater dolly is easy and quiet to move. The dolly will track in a straight line, or it can be set to track in an arc to go round an item. Each wheel can rotate 360 degrees to achieve this, and the mounts feature marks so you can easily replicate shots.
Because the Skater Dolly is so small and lightweight, it allows you to easily move the camera manually, giving you greater control over tracking shots in any direction as well as of curved moves.
You can precisely define the centre of rotation at any diameter, whether you want to orbit around an object right in front of the lens or catty out a curving move into a final product shot. These shots which would often require sophisticated rigging or motion control can now be executed with almost no prep time.
The top of the dolly features a Manfrotto sliding plate mount, which can be used to attach a camera directly, a tripod head for extra functionality, or you can attach the supplied Steadybag.
The steadybag allows you to mount the camera quickly. Because it's malleable, it also allows you to create dutch angles is needed. It also allows for quick release, so you could begin by filming on the dolly, and quickly transition to handheld. The steady bag has a Manfrotto sliding plate attached to the bottom for secure attachment to the Skater dolly.
The kit also comes with a laser pointer which is designed to fit over the wheels and aid you in creating the correct rotation angle. Place it at 90 degree angle to the wheels & rotate the wheel until the laser points at the object you with to rotate around. Do this on all three wheels and you are ready to go
