Move dolly
Robotic dolly system
Move dolly key features
1. Moves on both straight and curved rails - Possibility to combine straight and curved tracks into complex shapes. Can also move in a closed circle.
2. Flexibility and various modes of operation - Move robo dolly can be combined with the Pauli or Paulinho robotic PT heads, any PTZ camera, Raise motorized pedestal or adjustable manual lift suitable for any situation in video production.
3. Easy setup and control – System setup is fast and easy. It allows for an arbitrary combination of straight and curved rails. Placement of track end limits and the dolly on the track is straightforward. Additionally, control of the whole system is intuitive and easy with the Skaarhoj controller. It allows for the control of the dolly, motorized lift, PT head and lens. Overall, one day of training is enough for an operator to start using the system in production.
4. Advanced presets – In addition to the direct control of the system axes, it is possible to save presets. System features advanced preset options allowing the user to select which axes to include in the preset. When the preset is executed, axes that are not included in the preset can be operated manually. System also gives a possibility to save and execute preset arrays – sequences of presets with execution times.
5. Wireless/Battery powered operation – System can be supplied by either 220V AC power supply or 48V external DC voltage supply over cable. It is also possible to supply the system with 26V battery and to extend it to have fully wireless operation. For this mode of operation, battery and wireless communication devices V/gold mount holders can easily be added to the dolly surface.
