LOSMANDY SPIDER DOLLY The
Losmandy Spider Dolly
is the most portable professional dolly on the market. Combined with a
piece of FlexTrak, the
simple 3-Leg Spider
(see below) converts your tripod into an inexpensive, extremely
portable,
tracking dolly. Add a fourth leg, and you can further accessorize it,
as
pictured here, to be a fully rideable dolly with adjustable center
column,
foot platforms, and pushbar. Three small cases allow it to be checked
through
as luggage on an airline.
Also, the Spider, when combined with floor wheels and the LWT Tripod, creates an easy and safe way to position heavy cameras and jib arms. Supports 400 lbs. (182kg). The legs fold up for shipping. Click

DOLLY Now available in LONGER LEG version Adding still more modularity to our dolly system, we now offer a Losmandy 3-Leg Spider Dolly with longer legs. These will provide a 36" footprint instead of the 24" foot print of our standard track dolly, and can come with either track or floor wheels. For Jib work, the need is generally for positioning the jib, so floor wheels are usually used. Pictured here also is a safety cable that can be added to increase security to the system. Now one does not rely solely on the rubber straps on the tripod feet to secure the tripod to the dolly, but rather now one has downward pressure being exerted by the turn-buckled safety chain which makes a much more positive connection. The price of the 3-Leg Spider is the same whether with short or long legs: 3-Leg w/ floor wheels -- $1145 An additional set of legs only (short or long) -- $225 Custom Case for 3-Leg Spider w/ extended legs and floor wheels -- $350. Safety cable -- $40 |

| We have been selling the Bogen 3198 rolling spreader for those wanting to be able to roll our Jib arms from place to place once built. We used this Bogen dolly because it provided a larger footprint than our Spider Dolly which was designed primarily for track use, and therefore needed the 24.5 inch separation dictated by standard dolly track. However, under a jib, this footprint felt too small. Over time, many customers complained that the Bogen unit, while providing a desired footprint and certainly having a good price at only $395, was not robust enough for their needs. | |

Wheel Design Click for larger image |
A 3-Leg Spider can have all three wheels with brakes that lock the rotation of the wheel, or it can have 2 positionally locking wheels and 1 braking wheel. The 2 and 1 combination creates a tricycle effect that can make steering more precise, whereas using 3 braking wheels gives more rigidity and is often preferred by those using the dolly to position a jib arm. A 4-Leg Spider will have 2 of each wheel: 2 to lock in parallel, and 2 to float for steering and locking. Wheels -- $200 each = $600 for a 3-Leg Spider, $800 for 4-Leg Spider Note: these may appear to be simply inexpensive off-the shelf casters and wheels attached to our wheel arms. In reality they are a special soft rubber wheel with precision bearings, and casters with precision bearings. This combination allows for a smooth and noiseless ride whereas off-the shelf wheels and casters would be bumpy and noisy. |

LOSMANDY MINI TROLLEY For table top work where a track separation of 9-10 inches is preferable to the normal 24” separation required by the Spider Dolly. If you own either the 3-Leg or 4-Leg Spider Dolly you already own the Mini Trolley. |

| Disassemble
the Spider by removing the through-bolts that connect the two plates
and legs. You do not use either the top plate or the Spider Legs.
Instead, you simply mount the wheel-arms directly to the
Spider’s bottom plate using the through holes labeled either
“3-Leg” or “4 Leg” depending on
whether you are using 3 or 4 wheels for the Mini Trolley. Notice that in the top picture the 100mm cup is attached directly to the Spider’s Plate. For 4-Leg owners, you can use the 100mm cup from the top of your DV Column. For 3-Leg owners, you will need to purchase this additional cup. For those requiring a Mitchell top or 150mm cup, these can be added by using a set of risers (bottom photo) that attach to pre-drilled holes in the Spider’s plate. 100mm cup -- $100 150mm cup and 3 risers -- $225 Mitchell top and 3 risers -- $150 |
