Compact Dolly/Crane needed

[Joshua Brown]

Howdy Reduser!

I am in need of a compact crane and dolly for a few shoot days mid-late February for a short motorcycle themed film. We already have sponsorship for our camera package but are in need of a crane and dolly for a few shots. If ANYONE has ideas on where I can get my hands on something like that in the LA area, please let me know. I would be so grateful, as part of the story-line is told using the camera moves in these particular shots and we are doing this micro-budget style.

We make a very compact slider that's been used in many commercial environments. It comes in 3-foot, 4-foot, and 6-foot. It utilizes induction-hardened steel, so its very compact and very low-profile. I can also point you towards some compact cranes, but at this time we don't make any ourselves.

Still Looking. Anyone in LA have some ideas?

Hey Jason,

Thanks for the encouragement Matt. Right now we're focusing 100% on Epic and Scarlet accessories, and then I'm going to go back to my roots in motion systems. I also spoke to Josh on the phone today and this cool cat is A-ok! If anyone can help him out, I bet he would really appreciate it.

Thanks for the endorsement Jason. I enjoyed talking to you, but "take 5" only lasts so long. Your system sounds awesome, utilitarian, and perfect; can't wait to see it when you get it done.

Thanks for the link, but everything I see there is way over kill. We're doing it low-profile on public (though backroad) streets so I just need something light and easy to set up.
