RigWheels Camera Dolly / Slider / Skater System

 

 

RigWheels are a simple, sleek and portable way to add camera dolly / camera slider motion to your images. Because RigWheels can be used in several different ways, they are the simplest way for you to add smooth camera dolly movement to your arsenal of production tricks. The wheels can mount directly to your camera rig and can easily be configured as a pipe dolly, skate dolly, linear slider, vertical slider, etc… With our slider track you can make a 8' video camera slider for a fraction of the price of other solutions.

 

What make RigWheels unique are their 4 high quality bearing wheels per carriage. The bearings are strong and sturdy allowing them to carry a load of 50 lbs per carriage. 4 wheels per carriage give you a very smooth camera roll and because the wheel carriage is already constructed all you have left to do is mount them with one bolt. It's the smallest, easiest and most versatile camera dolly / slider solution available for achieving different styles of movement.

 

In this new era of HDSLR video production, size and portability are critical factors in deciding what equipment to use for video and film production. RigWheels can easily live in your backpack giving you the option of smooth camera motion wherever you travel.

 

RigWheels along with our slider track or any nearby piece of pipe, glass, plexiglas, laminate, dolly track or other smooth surface can give you the same seamless smooth motion as other options that cost hundreds more.
