For sale: A top-of-the-line Axis dolly system, with all of the trimmings! Here is the information from the website (www.axisdolly.com):
"I'd like to introduce you to the Axis Dolly. We all know how important dynamic shots are in film and commercial work. You're also probably aware of how expensive dolly systems are. Linear dollies are expensive enough, let alone trying to afford a system with a curved track to get creative radial shots. I am introducing the Axis Dolly in answer to the short comings of other dollies on the market. The Axis Dolly, unlike other dollies on the market, is made of the strongest materials and can take whatever you can dishout! Furthermore, it's affordable. The Axis Dolly is an innovative system that allows not only linear movement, but also radial movement with an adjustable radius! Rotate around a subject or item one foot or ten feet away from the camera, maintaining your camera's face toward the subject! This system replaces the need for straight and curved tracks. Circular movement is so easy you'll wonder how you've lasted so long without a dolly like this. This dolly is designed to be used with a tripod and has two length settings so it works with tripods of all sizes. You can mount your tripod head directly to the dolly via any of the 3/8" mounting holes in the body. The body of the dolly is also a mini dolly! Remove the legs of the dolly, mount the casters to the body, and attach your fluid head or tilting plate directly to it! You now can roll the body along the ground for low mode shots, or along a table top for creative movement or product shots. The sky's the limit! The Axis Dolly is manufactured from 1/2 inch thick plate aluminum. It is stronger than any application you will need it for. It is powder coated with a weather proof, black textured powdercoat so it scatters what little light it does reflect so as not to reflect light onto your subject. An adjustment chart is provided for quick set up of radial shots. You may also download a radial calculator (which opens in Excel) to calculate the settings for any radius."
And here's what I'm selling:
Axis dolly with standard casters ($1999 new) (works on hard flat surfaces)
Axis dolly pneumatic casters ($699 new) (perfect for uneven surfaces)
Axis dolly track casters ($249) (for use on PVC or metal pipe track)
Axis dolly tilt plate ($359) (sets the camera at a specific angle, especially useful for table-top use)
TWO pelican storage cases (models 1660 for the pneumatic tires and the dolly itself, and model 1600 for the extras). ($600 new) (to protect your investment forever!)
Total price to buy new: $3906. . . BUT MAKE ME A REASONABLE OFFER, and it's yours!
I am selling this unit because I need a new HMI light to replace the one that just died. It's a horrible pity, because it HAS NEVER BEEN USED FOR A SHOOT! It has ONLY been set up THREE TIMES (just to see how cool it is!). This unit cannot be told from new! This unit is SUPER heavy-duty, and will roll cameras of any weight. It works superbly, and can be set to circles of ANY size from a couple of feet in diameter and up. It can also be used as a straight track dolly! This is the true, all-in-one dolly solution! Read the review in DV Magazine! Buyer to pay shipping at cost. (It is heavy.) Email with any questions. If you are wanting to put top dollar production values into your shots, this is the way.
