Hey all, Im selling my hydraulic dolly becasue my wife needs a root canal and I need a 1$1000 to do it, so Im forced to sell this.

This is a dolly works as 6ft mast for any camera. I will try to list all good and bad things about it, but feel free to ask me any questions. If it is sold i will modify this listing as Sold. I am going to list this item here before ebay, so Im giving everyone here first crack. I am asking $1000 and as long as you are in the united states i will SHIP THIS TO YOU FREE - yes you heard right, free. Its heavy and I want to take care of shipping because I dont want it to arrive damaged.

Ok the good.

There are three settings for moving the unit.
You can:

Move all tires in the same direction (all four wheels move in the same direction)
You can move only the back wheels in a direction
you can lock the wheels to move only forward and backward

The Pan ifts up to 6ft and is controlled by a level on the directional T bar.

The Bad.

I think it leeks air, Ive never been able to get more then 5lbs of pressure on the unit (there is a guage) it goes up to 20, so this may be an easy fix but I do not know.

There is no definete way to attach the camera to the top head, i would use velcro.
There is only one arm for the head
The tires are old (rubber) so they leak if left unused for some time (each use 30psi)
Its heavy.
The pump works great when raising the arm, but its slow when you lower the arm. But how fast do you actualy shoot? Thats what I thought myself.

please ask any questions and i will answer them

How old is that thing? Looks sweet. Is $1000 really cheap for this type of unit?

Tim.

I'd have to guess it was made in the 70's, its a solid piece of machinery, usually if you look for camera dollies today, brand new I havnt seen any for under $4500, but this isnt new and it needs a little tlc, Im only sellign it becasue I need the money right now.
 
Looks like an old moviola - where are you located? I'd love to buy this from you, but i'm not 100% on the space issue.

I am in Broken Arrow and could pick it up. How much can you shave off if you dont have to ship it?

According to ebay, you bought this a week ago for $800. Why are you dumping it so soon? I am still really interested but curious...

I dont want to sell it, but my wife needs her root canal and its going to cost me $1200, if I can sell this I can at least in part get the money, I'm going to have to sell some other camera equipment I have to make up the rest.

And Im not dumping it, this is a great unit and I dont want to sell it but I really dont have much choice, this is the one item in my inventory that I can get what I paid for it, fast, had I known about this I wouldnt of even bought it. Thanks for making me look stupid on here.
 
I dont think you look stupid at all. I was just inquiring, 9 Days ago this unit was 1500 miles from you. I am interested in buying it, shoot me an email AshG@ashVID.com

A little off topic, but does anyone have /know where to get DIY plans for a professional dolly system? All I've seen are those skateboard dollys, nothing like this before.
