I found this dolly online about a month ago but just can't seen to scratch the money together yet. It seems really nice with proper soft wheels, 100mm and 75mm bowl and rail stands that fit speed rails or any round pipe. Plus the price seems spot on $549.

I've got a agus " ZaZA" slider but I'm missing the momentum of proper wheels.

When I finally get it I'll do a proper writeup but I thought I should pass along the site.
 
Thanks for the info! I really like this dolly. It looks to be an alternative to a long slider 6"-8". I'd like to have this.
 
just watched the youtube video. this looks very very nice! ive got the pocket dolly which is quick and effective but will only do 36". i do like on this though the longer distance run options for as long of pipe you want to use.

stange that all wheels seems aligned. usually you want all groups of wheels on a different line so you do not have the bump of the rails on all wheels at the same time.
 
I asked this in another thread and didn't get an answer:

Is there an advantage to a particular dolly design?

Wheels on rails
Slider on rails (a la Pegasus)
Bearings riding in a channel

Does one design give a better (smoother, quieter) ride?

There is no one standard. Each one has different applications and advantages. Personally I have a combination, a DIY build of the one pictured in this thread... and the wheels come off to mount on my larger Skater Dolly. The slider is different and is one more piece of equipment. It just depends on what makes sense for you.
 
I really love wheels over the slider feel. I use my slider all the time but I'll be getting this as soon as I flip some gear. I also like that I can get long runs of speedrail 8'+ and just use stands with "T" tops to hold the middle level.
 
That's very close to the system I designed. Mine allows more than one section of track though. Cool stuff.

Matt,

Just ran across this thread. Very interested to know if you kept the Dana dolly and what your long term impressions are.

Thanks,
