hey Neil Paypal's not working for me either. Also, what's the difference between the handle for the 1' rail and the 4' rail? There's a $30 difference.

thanks,

Jason

I'm wondering the same thing.
 
Neil Rowe Quote regarding 1' and 4' rails:

"i would recommend the 24 wheel 4' set. its only 10 more dollars, and as you said its better fro riding ect...the 24 4' wheel set is the standard order, and for good reason. its overall the best suited for average use. a 32 wheel set is great as well of course, but not reaaly needed unless your going to be putting some REALLY heavy loads on it. im talking upwards of 400 lbs. ..not to mention, they look "flippin sweet" (to channel our good friend Napoleon Dynamite).

the 1' rails are really only designed for usage on dollies shorter than 4' . they allow you to go down to 2' since you can space them as needed lengthwise. however they do not provide as much support for weight, and in my opinion do not look quite as nice as the full length rails."

Thanks 908media, but what's at issue now is that there are two options when buying the new dolly handle that makes you choose between a 1' and 4'...however, I thought a handle, was a handle, was a handle.

I went ahead and ordered it anyway. So we'll see.

EDIT: I noticed that in my original quote I wasn't clear about the handle versus the rail. Sorry.
 
OK, I think I figured it out.

The handle is $100 US and $130 international, but both options to buy are listed in columns under the US section. I didn't understand it when I read the handle description, because I was so in awe of how cool it looks.

JARRED: it might be helpful to put one pay button for the handle on the US chart and a serparate one on the International chart.

So, I just paid $30 more for my international handle...so is it PAL or NTSC? :)
 
yeah, i just got 3 orders for the cine dolly handle from buyers in the U.S. using the 130.00 link. lol dont worry ill either get ahold of you all to see if you want me to just paypal back 30.00 or i can just throw some bills in the package for you. whichever is more convienient pending your paypal account type and if youd be charged to collect the directly funded money or not. so just to clarify..

the 100.00 handle is for U.S. orders and the 130.00 is for international.

hopefully we can move the 130.00 to the international section.
just pm me about how youd like the refund for the 30.00 :)
 
For those of you who already have the rowe cine kit, what are you using for rails? Just the PVC tubing? That's what I've heard but I don't fully understand how one could use the PVC effectively. If I just lay down two long peices, don't they roll out of alignment, causing friction on the wheels? I'm sure there are solutions and I'm just wondering what some of you guys use to get the best track possible.
 
i use aluminum rail or pvc pending the situation. you could ride pro cine track or most any track out there though. the aluminum or steel rail is better for more uneven ground because it provides more stiffness and does not bend. the pvc is cheap and easy to set up. it will not/cannot come out of alignment because the dolly going over it forces it into straight alignment. in generall when using pvc, i just throw down the pvc tracks.. screw them together, and then roll the dolly over them back and fourth a couple times to straighten them out. imho its by far the quickest setup. you dont have to worry about cleaning the tracks because you can just buy new ones for each shoot.
 
Just ordered the handle, and am so psyched!! Making a great product even better!!
All my pals are so jealous of my dolly, and are surprised, since they know I'm not a fix-it-up type of person, but are shocked how good my dolly came out. And now it shall have a handle!! Muah-ha-ha! Rock on, Neil!!
:kali:
 
hehe, ..the dolly envy is a common thing with the kits!

yeah, they are pretty easy to put together with the instructions. Im sure it came out stellar. Your handle should go out tommorrow, or the next day. good stuffs :)
 
Neil,

Got the dolly kit yesterday. Absolutely fantastic, the quality of the rails, wheels, and handle is top notch. I can't wait to put it together.

Thanks,
Josh
 
Glad you like it Josh!

Its nice to know that our attention to quality doesnt go un-noticed. Let me know if there are any questions with the construction. I think in the first sets of instructions, I left out what to do with the lanyard cable for the quick release pin for the handle, but it just gets secured under the handle mount. Or i guess you could attach it to whatever you wanted. ...anyhow, enjoy the kit and definitely some happy shooting!
 
I was wondering if I could get some advice on what type of wheels would be good for the spiderbrace I just bought? I thought it would be a good idea to put wheels on it but I want them to fold back so they are not always touching the floor I want to be able to fold them up or down depending on when I need them.
 
Plywood?

Plywood?

Hi Neil,

Got my Rowe Cine dolly today, thanks! Great turnaround time by the way.

Weird dilemma, I went to Home Depot and Lowes and the thickest plywood they had was 3/4. Where does everyone go for their plywood? If this has been mentioned before, sorry, I didn't see anyone else mention this problem.

thanks in advance!
 
get 2 - 1/2" plywood panels and get them to cut it on the wall cutter.. that will make them perfect, then take them home and use a good wood glue to glue the 2 - 1/2" panels together and you got 1" !!

remember, thats all plywood is.

Yeah, I thought about doing that, but I worried about the integrity of it if I glued them togther. But hey, if it's worked for you then I'm game.

thanks!
 
jp, you can use 3/4" if you like, its just going to be a little weaker and lighter than the 1". under heavier loads its going to have the potential to bend easier ..keeping in mind that 3/4" plywood is still very strong. But as Jarred said, you can just put two 1/2" sheets together if you like. if you want a singular sheet for the 1" stuff you may have to go to a specific wood panel like solid oak or cherry and such if they have them in 1" thickness. they make for some really nice kits.
