    I got this just last week, used it for one weekend shoot. It worked well but I usually work with a small crew and it's too bulky and heavy for transport in a car. It also doesn't work with my Flex Track with is a bummer. I'm letting it go to invest in a more portable setup. There's a few places where the paint stratched off during transport but it's in excellent conditions.

    Only the dolly PLATFORM and handle is included, not the center column or any seats (didn't purchase those). Cinevate includes 2 track connectors with the package which is a $50 value, but those are pretty useful so I'll be keeping them and the price will reflect that.

    To break it down, I paid $1436 shipped for this from Cinevate. I will take $1300 which includes shipping and Paypal. Sorry, continental US only; this thing is pretty heavy so if you would like it shipped overseas shipping will cost ya more.

    I can take pictures of it but I've already disassembled the dolly for transport and would really rather not have to put it back and take it apart again to ship. I will do it on request however; I've sold things on here before and you can trust that when I say it's in great condition, it is. There's probably a few BTS pictures from the shoot that I can use to show you what it looks like fully assembled.

    I may be in the market for a dolly. When it's ready for transport, what are the dimensions of the unit? Also, in your opinion, what kind of track will work best with it and where can it be obtained?

    If I may ask, what more portable solution are you now considering?

    Thanks,
    Leo

    You can trust Huy Vu. He takes very good care of his equipment and if I was in the market for this dolly, I would be first in line to buy from him.

    Hey Huy, just an heads up. In the pictures above, you have the ballare mounted onto the flex track incorrectly. The articulating arms should BOTH be on one side. In the pics, you have one articulating arm on each track. This as per Dennis.

    Hope this helps, and good luck with the sell. I'm sure someone out there could use a great deal on the Ballare.
