Dana Dolly

At DV Expo I also saw the Dana Dolly.  It's your typical skateboard wheel dolly but what separates the Dana Dolly from the competition are the Track End Brackets.


They are flat on one side for laying on the floor, apple boxes, counter, etc., have junior receiver on the other side for mounting on standard stands and are designed to hold 1 1/4" pipe.  That's Speedrail to you and me so you can cut track any length you need.


The complete Dana Dolly kit is $600 (the show special was $550 so they will deal) but the real deal is you can get the Track End Brackets for $70 bucks each.


For lighter cameras and for travel they have a Dana Dolly Jr.  The complete Jr. kit is $400 (show special $350).  These Track End Brackets and U bolts for accepting all kinds of pipe so you could buy cheap pipe on the road and toss it at the end of the shoot.
