“The CamDolly is a remarkably solid bit of kit, being a heavily customizable rig that can be converted into different configurations. For the first shot we were using its flexible rubber tube tracks, which it runs over using specially inclined wheels. This makes it possible to create a curving dolly shot without having to set up a complicated track”

“I’ve worked in the film / video industry professionally for 20 years now and have had access to and used a number of different dolly systems. Until the CamDolly, though, you had to have a small truckload of gear to accomplish what this brilliantly designed “swiss army knife” dolly kit will do. It solves just about any camera movement need you’d have on set aside from a crane or jib shot. Need to slide the camera? CamDolly. Need straight / curved track shots? CamDolly. It’s rideable and compact and when you’re carefully investing in gear, not only is this something that will serve you for years down the road, it’s the best way to invest your money in a product that serves multiple needs and does EVERYTHING that you’d ever need in a dolly system. I use it for every shoot we do!”
“One of the great things about the internet is that it empowers likeminded people to get in touch with each other to communicate and learn over great distances, making geographical boundaries totally irrelevant. It also empowers people eager to build something great by giving them a vast audience and lots of feedback – and thereby they can challenge even established “big players”.
The Cam Dolly is such a product that has truly evolved through the help of professionals from the industry, because its creator Met generously reached out to listen to shooters like me, for example. And I think it has paid off: The Cam Dolly is by far the most versatile Camera Dolly system I have ever seen, because it basically replaces several other Camera Dollies that you would have needed before it. It can be a table dolly as well as a slider, a tripod dolly or a full-blown dolly rig on rubber tracks or with rubber wheels for every surface.
It has come a long way since Met showed it to me, and I can only congratulate the team for such an accomplishment. With its unmatched versatility, the Cam Dolly will certainly become a huge hit, and being able to talk to the inventor personally about every single issue that might arise is a huge bonus as well.”
