ABSTRACT

The dollies described in this section are only a few of the types available. Each dolly has its own characteristics, but all of the dollies do one basic thing: they are a mobile platform for the camera. This invention has saved the grip and camera department many hours of pain due to carrying a tripod with a camera on it. Pneumatic tires are standard on the doorway dolly, but the dolly can also be fitted with track wheels for use on straight dolly track. Steering is accomplished by using a pull handle (like a wagon). A western dolly is somewhat similar in design to the doorway dolly, but the western is much larger and is capable of transporting a heavier load. Its larger wheels offer a smoother, steadier ride than the smaller dollies. A tube dolly is a specialized dolly originally designed to ride on sections of straight standard dolly track or tubing.
