Hello all. It has been awhile since my last visit and post. I saw this forum topic and decided to investigate.
I hope I am not out of line here, but I have been working on a portable dolly (or "slider" if you will) for quite sometime now.
To be clear, this is a relatively heavy dolly, and is specifically designed for large set-ups and/or large-style cameras (shoulder-type). This is not a dolly for backpacking up a mountain or for stop-motion photography.
Two unique concepts is that dolly track can be as short as 4 feet or as long as 22 feet, or anything in-between. Second, a motor-assist option is available, which allows the user to concentrate on pans, tilts and zooms without also having to contend with creating a smooth lateral motion. Again, this dolly is not a Dynamic Motion device nor is it controlled by a computer.
Here is a short little demo I shot last week:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrD8eo279Cc&feature=youtu.be
If anything, it is a quick alternative to floor track and a ride-on dolly, and all of the grip equipment and personnel that comes with a doorway dolly. This dolly will be available for purchase very soon.
Thanks.
