Pedestal adptor for ride-on dolly

[Mike Peters]

I'm fabricating a ride-on dolly from steel for filming. Has wheels and can run on track and its almost finished.

But I have a problem - I want to add some plates to the base frame where standard risers or low hats could be bolted on sometime in the future if required. Having never seen a real riser, or Mitchell adaptor here in Chirstchurch I'm not sure what size bolt holes to predrill now.

Do all these gadgets use the same size hole

I notice G-f-m use a euro-adaptor, and there is Mitchell and Cartoni

Any suggestions

Quick answer is to call your local grip and ask; they'd be more than happy to tell you what sizes their gear uses and maybe even bring along some parts to test.

Hi Cail

A local grip guy in Chrsitchurch told me its a euroboss/elemack boss/euro mount/elemack mount

He is lending me one so I can get the mount holes accurately drilled.

Thanks
