I need a dolly system that is highly portable and can be set up quickly by one person. This seems to fit the bill well but I can't find a single review or footage from it. Tom from Varizoom said in a thread that they were working on demo footages for this system, but that was months ago. Does anybody have experience with this system or know anyone who does?
 
Hey

Any luck with feedback on this dolly and track? I too am now interested in getting a setup, but like you, have not found any feedback. Please let me know if you came up with anything. Thanks
 
What did you end up going with? And I saw that you had used the flex dolly, is it smooth? E.g. when setting it with curves on the layout, does it give any problems manouvering? Thanks
 
Looking for a true portable dolly, I found this:

Haven´t ordered it since I´m still deciding if I realy need it, been getting away with ZaaZaa´s DIY slider so far...
But at this pricepoint the eazydoly seems like a steal...

I use the Flex Track system from IndieSnap. It's very smooth although the track takes a bit of setting up to make sure the wheels don't slip off. For most curves it's fine, but since the track is flexible you're not going to be able to make a perfect circle or half circle turn, so it'll be "curveish." Solid tracks like PVC pipe would be better for this, and the dolly can handle those type as well. All the dolly shot in my reel was taken with this system.
 
I like the easy dolly but as the kid describes on his vimeo channel his dad helped him build it so I think its a DIY for under $100 like he did and not pay him $400+, unless your lazy

I just got a Varizoom tripod and the dolly looks legit but not for 1k+ $

Anyone buy one?
