My 5D get a dolly

[Lasvideo]

I just purchased the new design of the Axis Dolly. Its really quite amazing. It is a trackless (or track) dolly system that can function as a ...
1. Table top dolly with ability to mount fluid head
2. Floor dolly with tripod and camera mounter for trackless or track moves
3. Jib dolly for my EZ FX jib ...aloowing me to make dolly moves with jib or just relocate it.
The version I bought is the NEW and IMPROVED design which is different from the model shown at the website.
I am very excited about the variety of applications I can get from this well designed piece of equipment.
Here are some pix...

It varies with stuff you buy. The website is www.axisdolly.com
Seth the designer/owner is cool.

$2500 just for the basic dolly. Whoa. Too rich for my blood.

Yeah... not worth it IMO. You can get an actual cinema dolly for that price.

The way I see it Im getting 3 dollys and with the high degree of direction controls, NONE of them are what I would call basic.
I am getting one for table top...one for my regular tripod.. and one for my EZ jib. And I dont need PITA track. Can your actual "cinema dolly" do all that ;-)

try the micro dolly for serious work

Sorry, microdolly wont give me table top moves or augment my EZ FX jib with trackless moves. Not even a consideration for my needed applications.

The big question though.... have you tried skating down a hill on it?

This screams "DIY" to me! Great design.
