Delivered the mobile base and the joint.
The base has three holes which were all equipped with a thread.
This also allows some cameras by weight not yet optimally designed to tare a little.
Normally, the middle hole should be sufficient.
The substructure was with, I suspect stocked skate wheels. This has the advantage that the ball bearings run wonderfully supple. The can almost (but only almost: -D) anpusten and already turning.
Perfect also that on both axles, a set screw is included. The two axes are therefore in the horizontal and fully lockable freely or. So you can realize a tracking shot with curve.
In practice, so you can try out the camera movement before, and if you have the optimal curve found to set the screws and the particle moves in precisely predetermined angle.
At supplied joint is the center bolt pivotal point.
With selbiger provides you not only the angle of the upper and lower joint, it is with this, the screw on the chassis and the top-mounted camera firmly.
Depending on the weight of the camera used, which also holds bomb-proof!
The unit in practice:
First tested with a 600g and later with a 1,34kg heavy camera, this mini Dolly brought amazing results.
Prerequisite course are absolutely determined screw.
The heavier the camera, the deeper it should be placed. This prevents vibrations which are visible in the image afterwards.
The nuts and bolts of this Dolly is an absolutely flat surface.
Although the wheels are ball bearings but not immune to shocks.
Any unevenness shall be punished with artifacts. While many things can the internal stability program of the camera, if available, to compensate, but I would not rely on it myself.
Not recommended are SLRs with exorbitant lens at the top.
That can not wuppen the small dolly and then tilts easily. But cameras to 1.5kg can be easily mounted.
In total we have more than an optimal price-performance ratio.
When I recall what the Dolly is calling some manufacturers of similar products here almost
paid.
From my eight stars. Since that is not possible ... FIVE !!!
