... Go and see Chapman UK. The guy that runs it is a great guy.

Ps Not for sale but rental only .....should be painless if you have a grip.

Ps if it was for sale you would be looking at North of £60k easy...

Qualified dolly & techno operator (as well as Movi owner operator) weighing in: This unit now bridges the gap between the studio optimized Chapman Hustler IV and nimbler Chapman Pee Wee IV. It adds the notable features of the Hustler IV (Roundy-round steering, sliding side boards, riding low mode) - to the old school Hybrid - resulting in a unit that is hardier than Hustler beyond studio environment, can narrow down for doorway or other pinched spaces similar to Pee Wee, and offers clear view of wheels for dance floor type movements. Definitely a hole in the lineup Chapman appropriately filled. As stated above, only available for rent not purchase, and if one were to fall overboard in the ocean, full replacement insurance claim would probably be in the $300-400 K range or more.
