I used the dolly on a job today and just wanted to let you guys know it worked flawlessly. It set up very quickly and packed up very quickly. The client was pretty impressed with it.

I posted a test of the Brevis35 in low light that I recorded doing dolly shots with the Indie Dolly. There are accompanying fotos as well. It wasn't set up on rough terrain...unless you consider a kitchen to be a dangerous area!

Any more news? I am seriously considering this purchase.
Did you guys buy directly from the vendor?

I just received my Indi-Dolly yesterday (with 12ft straight and 13ft curved track). I'm hoping to get a test in soon, so I'll comment on it's performance. Just a note: I'll also be using the Micro35 (M2), with the Advanta-Jib attached to the dolly. I'll also try straight shots using only the Z1U.
I'm waiting for a HD monitor (probably from Nebtek) to really test follow focus with the Indi-Dolly, so those test may have to wait. I'll post more once I get a chance (my schedule is tight right now, but whenever I get a new 'toy' I have a hard time not playing....) Todd |

I used the Indie Dolly on a Dateline job yesterday. It worked very well and the producer was pleased. Here's a couple of pics showing how the set up looks. I have the seat attached and the handle to push/pull is the silver bar attached to the center of the base of the dolly. It was very simple and straight forward to set up.

I own one. It's a great system. It's not $500 as suggested in the first post but rather $1099 and another $500 for the tracks. But it's a great system at that price. The tracks are extremely strong.

So let me ask, is this currently the best bang for the buck so to speak? I am just getting started looking and this seems to be a good product for a good price, what is the nearest alternative and what are the benefits or drawbacks of each?

How about this alternative.
Check: http://www.cinemagadgets.com/dollies...s-c-73_89.html
They sell dolly track that looks a lot more professional than the one you are talking about, yes it's more expensive, but not that much, you can get 12 feet for $600.00 if you by a 10 feet and a 2 feet. (I know that the 10 feet track is not going to be portable, but it's just an example, you can buy three 4 feet tracks for $780) You're gonna pay around 40% more money, but the track is gonna last forever. Now, about the dolly itself: http://www.cinemagadgets.com/dollies...s-c-73_41.html They have a lot of options, you can buy an already built dolly, or buy the pieces, add some plywood and you'll end up with a REAL dolly. Again, maybe you end up paying a little more. but you will end up with a far more professional setup. Just my two cents, please let me know what you all think.
