Help/Advice:
I have a small budget and really want to buy a dolly for the Monsterfest 09' shoot (and other projects of course) but I'm not sure which to choose in this $500 dollar range

paintedsheep dolly: I dig it from what I've seen and cost wise.

Omni-tracker I'm also lovin this one , which needs to be used on a table or platform (its the low cost version fof the SKATER Mini Dolly)
http://www.omni-tracker.com/Slim-LIne.html

Argument: The Onmi-tracer could do what the paintedsheep could do if on a table,
but I don't thing the paintersheep could do what the omnitracker could
do.

ANYONE have experience with either of these??

Suggestions please :-)




P.S. would the Omnitracker SL be strong enough to support HVX200 plus RedRock M2?

Thanks!
 
Really Jason?
don't they have a limited range of motion (3 feet)?

BTW, do you have any footage shot on one
I could see?

Thanks!

Just search vimeo for "indislider" there are dozens of videos shot with sliders.

I think that a slider will get you 90 percent of the shots you need. I have a dolly similar to the painted sheep dolly. I do a lot of shooting myself and the slider was an easier set up and transport then a PVC dolly.

Indislider, Gladtrack, Kessler, all have a slider solution and there is even a DIY instructions form ZAZA in the DIY forum. Not too mention the new 99.00 dollar slider from Indislider.

Check out some videos.
