THE NEW MAGNUM DOLLY

get to know the new MAGNUM DOLLY SYSTEM

THE NEW MAGNUM DOLLY TURNSTYLE

Probably one of the most striking innovations of the New MAGNUM DOLLIES is the completely redesigned turnstile. It offers an incredible variety of advantages over the previous model and also over turnstiles of other dollies:

MULTIFUNCTIONAL: With the new multi-functional MAGNUM turnstile, you can work much more flexible and creative than ever before. You can attach a wide variety of accessories such as the system low boom mount, the assistant’s seat mount, the 4-way leveler, etc. to different positions.
LOWER: With the new MAGNUM turnstile, you can easily remove the Euro spigot and mount various accessories directly on the column. Thus you save the so valuable centimeters.
STABILITY: The use of high-strength alloys has made the new turnstile significantly more stable. In addition, the thickness of the material has increased visibly, which minimizes deflection, even under maximum load.
ERGONOMIC: Significantly more degrees of freedom of the seat positions increase the ergonomics of the Dolly by a multiple. You can now easily adjust the height of the seat and the distance to the center of rotation of the Dolly.
NEW BRAKE: When you close the brake, the turnstile stops !!! The new turnstile no longer has only a friction brake, but is thanks to solid stainless steel sprocket clearly and noticeably tighter closed.
VERSATILE: The new turnstile allows for countless possibilities to work creatively with your MAGNUM DOLLY. For example, the ultra-stable seat arm extension can be used as a mini low rig if time does not permit a complete setup.

NEW TELESCOPIC STEERING

The new telescopic handlebar can be optimally adjusted to the individual body size of the respective dolly grip. This enables much more ergonomic working.

In addition, the connection to the dolly is now absolutely backlash-free. This enables even more precise operation of the dolly.

The telescopic handlebar (1013-00) is included in the standard Magnum Dolly set, but can also be retrofitted on request.

ERGONOMIC SEAT ARM CONCEPT

The new MAGNUM-DOLLY turnstile features ultra-stable seat arm adjustment.

This allows the seat position to be optimally adjusted to the respective requirements.

MAGNUM DOLLY ELECTRONICS

PLATFORM SYSTEM

New Surface Technologies

Premium surface technologies like the new anti slip coating are specially developed for the NEW MAGNUM DOLLY

The dolly platform system has also received a complete makeover:

40% LIGHTER: Elaborately milled pockets on the underside of the dolly platforms save 40% weight – while maintaining the same stability.
ANTI-SLIP: The specially designed anti-slip coating ensures a secure grip on the platform, even in wet conditions.
COMFORTABLE: The integrated handles increase the carrying comfort and flatter your hand.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL: Thanks to the various attachment options such as four 29mm light stud mounts and a universal mount, you have all the possibilities to attach various accessories to your platform.

SYSTEM LOW RIG

System low rig-set

useable as mini-low rig, side rig or high rig

The MovieTech system low rig allows low shot positions for the Camera. The height can be stepless adjusted. The differently support tubes can be used single or combined. The outer diameter of the support tubes is 80mm (2” 8’ inch).

The new System low rig-Set includes two offset-adapter with 80mm (2” 8’ inch) Euro mount clamping.

The Surface of the offset-adapter is provided with 25mm (10’ inch) drillings. The drillings are used for mounting of accessories, fex. Clamp bolt (seat arm bolt etc.). The accessories will be mounted by clamping with Maggot screws (sideways) or clamp bolts with a central clamping system (clamping via Allen key by spreading the mechanism)

A big advantage is the new counter weight bar, which can be placed different and it is traversable. If the bar is in the way during filming, it can be mounted quick and easy in different positions.

U-Bangi

U-Bangi

The MovieTech U-Bangi as a camera rig is designed to move the camera horizontally very smooth and silent.

Item No. 2090 consists of:

Main segment
Double euro adapter (80mm)
Counterweight rod

The highlights at a glance:

When using it with the rotatable adapter with brake (Item No. 2091-0), the U-Bangi permits rotation moves.
By additionally mounting the system low rig (Item no. 2087-0SET) via the euro adapter clamp, variable camera heights can be achieved.
By using the tripod adapter with euro mount clamp from the accessories range (Item no. 2095-1000) the range of use can be remarkably extended: it permits to directly mount the U-Bangi on a riser or tripods with ball adapters. The middle part of the U-Bangi then serves as a camera slider within a length of 870mm.

THE NEW KIRIN DUO-JIB

The DuoJib is specially designed to be operated on a MAGNUM Dolly. It allows for smooth and steady movements thanks to the gliding 360° rotation
of the Magnum and the precise mechanics of the column. The Duo Jib is very quickly and easily assembled and dismounted. Mounted on a Magnum
Dolly, the Jib will automatically lift and lower by activating the column movement.

Caution: Always make sure that the weight distribution of the DuoJib is in balance. Take special care when climbing on and off the platform.

Duo Jib platform:

The platform offers space on the turnstile to fit two seat arms with round seats and a Euromount for the mounting of bazookas.

Levelling of the dolly platform:

A levelling mechanism enables the correction of the platform’s position.

Duo Jib Counterweight rigging:

The counterweight bars made from stainless steel with a diameter of 34 mm carry the reqiored counterweights.

Duo Jib connecting bar:

A connecting bar to the Magnum Dolly allows the automatic rising and lowering of the Duo Jib by moving the electromechanical column of the dolly
