More dollies and track back in stock! Wahoo! Lot's of great interest this week :)

Get in touch to order yours...

Well, that is just a very cool quote from our review in Zerb Magazine (Official Magazine for Guild of TVCameramen @GTC_TV) last September. Really pleased you liked it Mari Yamamura (@MariYamamura).

Just saw a tweet from TopTeks, one of our main London dealers: an independent review of our Kombidolly and Kliktrak dolly track system by Simon Edwards GBCT ( @siedwardscamera & www.simonedwards.tv/)...

So many great quotes we could use, but we are soooo chuffed with the conclusion:

All things considered, I really think this track is the best lightweight kit on the market now. I’ve used (I think!) every alternative across all the price ranges and the Kliktrak/Kombidolly’s ease and speed of assembly as well as the fantastic build quality and level of thought that has gone into the design is astonishing and far surpasses the competition in my opinion. The manufacturers have really listened to the technicians who have been testing this system and incorporated them into the design.

I would suggest that as far as kit purchases go, this will reward you time after time and, dare I say it, more than pay for itself.

Thanks for the kind words!

So here it is...

The first sneak peek at our prototype straight dolly track moving into an all-new radial track.

This is certainly no mean feat to do well and is partially made possible by our very own 3D printed track connectors to cater for the curvature of the new rails (in fact we have gone even further in the 3D prints adjusting for the slight deformation that occurs when bending a round tube!).

Oh yes! We are so chuffed to have received such an amazing review by Mari Yamamura (@mariyamamura) in the Autumn edition of Zerb Magazine, the journal of The Guild of Television Cameramen.

We lent some kit out to help these guys with their Kickstarter campaign and hopefully they are closing in getting to their goal.

We really appreciate the thank you in this "Making Of" film and wish you all the luck getting the film funded! Check out around 01:10

Day One at IBC2014

We have been blown away by the great feedback from people at the show. The highlight of the day though has to be when filmmaking royalty Rodney Charters (@rodneykiwi) paid us a visit and asked if we can get him a kit! As in the Director of Photography on massive shows such as 24 & Dallas (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0153552/).

Oh and being interviewed for http://www.newsshooter.com/ wasn't bad either!
