Glide Gear SYL 960 Camera Tripod/Track Dolly & SYL 101 Dolly Track Combo Pack
The Glide Gear SYL 960 Camera Tripod/Track Dolly & SYL 101 Dolly Track Combo Pack brings together two of Glide Gear's bestselling units. Get effective tracking shots for a fraction of the cost of traditional dolly systems.
The SYL 960 video camera tripod with wheels will allow any videographer to take professional-looking videos for a fraction of the price of a standard track dolly. However, lower price does not mean lower quality. The Glide Gear SYL 960 is of comparable quality with more expensive dollies available in the market and has unique features that make it even better!
Made of aircraft grade 6061 aluminum alloy anodized to very tight tolerances, this video camera tripod with wheels is lightweight but extremely durable. It is capable of bearing rigs up to 35 lbs., although the dolly itself only weighs a few pounds. It is also highly portable, foldable to fit into a convenient carry bag so you can easily bring it anywhere. The SYL 960 is also versatile because it can be converted into a rolling camera dolly using the regular swivel wheel casters included in the kit. The legs can be extended up to 5 inches longer to accommodate wider tracks.
But perhaps more important than its strength and portability, the SYL 960 video camera tripod with wheels has the unique advanced sliding swivel wheel system that is not only capable of full 360° turns but the wheel housing can freely slide up to 1 inch, so uneven surfaces of up to 2 inches has no effect on the smoothness of the SYL 960 operation. Each swivel track wheel assembly comes with four track wheels (4 wheels) for maximum stability and each castor wheel has the 360° swivel and locking mechanism. These tripod dolly track wheels are made for movement along a track; they enable contact with the most track surface area possible. Other competing products use roller blade wheels which are not designed to be on tracks and are less stable.
The SYL 101 consists of 3x 4ft sections that can be easily assembled into a 4ft, 8ft or 12ft long straight track. The SYL 101 comes with a spacer for each end of the track and feet to add support along the rails guaranteeing a perfectly leveled and spaced out track.
The SYL 101 is compatible with most dollies and will help you achieve the smoothest videos.
