Slider for Larger Rigs?

[Weston Fahey]

Hey all,

Just started looking into sliders that can hold rigs between 35-50 lbs. Would love for it to be compatible with some sort of motion controlled parallaxing movement for those interview situations. If you all have worked with some systems you like, please let me know.

Thanks

Danna Dolly?

Don't have personal experience with this set-up, but Bob Gundu has a video demonstrating a Trost slider (which can itself certainly take that weight) with a Ditogear motion control system...

I'd say Panther's Ubangi slider

Dana Dolly

I'm partial to this for it's adaptability. You can bolt a mitchel base on to the bottom of some speed rail and mount it on a dolly or mitchel sticks.

It's like a dana dolly for grown ups.

I'm biased now, but the Dana Dolly works well for this payload, even the new Lite "H Frame" model. It's really a fundamental bit of kit in my book, which is why there are so many rather similar concepts at this point.

As for a moco rig to handle that payload, nothing in the relatively inexpensive category hold 30-50lbs effectively and certain nothing too small. For now that is

...you have all the secrets Phil, so.. Cine gear news?

Well, I don't offer Moco, but I've tested this slider at up to 100 pounds. Offers better value and full ball levellling of 75 and 100 mm heads, which others don't:
