FS: Dolly Moviola Crab. Old School dolly.

[Bérenger Brillante]

Hi

I have a moviola crab for sale. It needs a little service but it works.
It's heavy, 230kg, and quite big 1m30x80cm approximatly, but it lift two persons + heavy camera setup sooo easily. (I guess 300kg max)

I have no idea how much it worth these days, if someone is interested feel free to PM me.

That narrow Moviola is quite rare and was remade / modified by Samuelsons film services London about 40 years ago.
Yes it went tho' doors but was not very stable as the wheels were too narrow for its weight and new width.
If anybody is interested the idea of Moviola came from an Aircraft Officer who saw something similar loading bombs onto B52 in the last Asian conflict.
