Familiar story - bought this for a project that never really got going. Only been used a couple times. It's works very similar to the $5,000.00+ P+S skater dolly but costs much less and actually has a function to expand to support a full tripod which the P+S doesn't do. You can create some great product shots and also some creative camera moves for your feature films.

Retail is $2,798 (axis dolly + track casters). I am letting it go for $1400.00 + $70.00 shipping. This is made of 1/2 thick plate aluminum so it will last forever. Extremely sturdy (it even supports a ride-on seat, available at the Axis Dolly website.) I purchased this a year ago, and as I said, have only used it a couple times.

This skater dolly glides super smoothly. Axis dolly consists of the mini tabletop which is expandable to full size to take a tripod. This also comes with the dolly track caster wheels (which are unused).

First $1400.00 (plus $70.00 for US ground shipping) takes it. Paypal with verified shipping address only.

Damn, wish I had some extra loot. I sold mine a year ago and regretted it big time. Versatile piece of kit.

So why did you sell it? Did you know that they have redesigned it very recently?
What was your experience with it (were you happy with its performance)?

I loved it but I was not shooting at all. I had a newborn and it seemed my days of shooting were long gone :) For the first two years they were. But the dolly is super strong and versatile which I loved being able to go from the low mode to the full version and put it on track. Now I thought some of the addons were a bit pricey i.e. the tilt and the t-bar...
 
Hey, thats great to hear. Ive been in contact with Seth (the owner) and have seen the revised model. It looks like it has a lot of enhancements on the original. I really wanted to speak to someone with first hand experience. And it sound like you had a good impression of the construction and capabilities. Any details from when you used it would be really appreciated!
 
Thanks CB for the PM . Thats what I needed to hear. Its a large investment with so few users that I needed some validation of the product. The fact that they had done some major redesigning also made me a bit nervous. But Seth is great. He is helping design a system where my EZ EFX Jib (mounted on my Cartoni tripod) can be bolted onto the large configuration of the Axis dolly.
I know it will be a good investment, but not seeing a lot of feedback from owners had me a little concerned. Thanks again!
 
Here is the new improved Axis Dolly I just bought today
