At last,
here it is. The brand-new dolly "Sprinter" by Movie Tech.
It is featured with a lot of innovations which are not commonly in
this class. Beside these highlights it offers a number of improvements
which simplify the operation on the set enormously.
The
revolutionary thing of the Sprinter dolly is its steering system.
With the new Front Wheel Steering
the dolly is manouvrable like a car.
That means: steering rod to the left = wheels to the left (and
vice versa). Steering rod and push-bar can be mounted by insertion
either at the front- or at the back side of the dolly. Thereby
the grip never gets in the way of the camera.
Please
see the most important highlights of the Sprinter
Thanks
to the variability of the platform and an appropriate low
rig, an extremely low camera position can be realised.
This
is also one of the most important highlights.
Also
by using a tripod instead of the turnstile mount different seating
positions for operator and assistant are possible.
With
the Sprinter it is possible to change over the pneumatic wheels
to track wheels within seconds without tools.
Thanks
to fixing elements the mounting of the platform can be done
very quickly and smoothly.
That's
nothing ...
...but
extremely helpful. By moving the dolly in a truck you can
arrange it in an upright position.Short resting columns prevent
the dolly from standing on the wheels and thereby from sliding
away.
Only
with a few activities you can transform the Sprinter into a
trolley, which for example can easily haul your camera to the
set.
...and
here all parts which will be delivered together with the Sprinter.
