If you have a table dolly, you’ll know the importance of using a smooth surface to get the best footage. It won’t solve every odd surfaced situation, but for most common imperfect surfaces that small table / skater dollies require, here’s the Pico Surface Mat.

The Pico Surface Mat offers a thick Neoprene material with [...]

Thanks to HDSLRNOW for the early video overview of the new Komodo Rotating Video Dolly from PhotographyandCinema.com. The Komodo video dolly was designed for the demands of a slightly larger table dolly to support a heavier payload. The unique design uses more surface area around the axles to provide more 1/4-20 mounting areas along the [...]

A few months ago I posted a little contest to give this new dolly a name, so Congratulations to Kerry Garvey of http://www.kerrygarvey.ca for helping us out with that. We decided to go with the suggested name ‘Komodo Dolly’ [Thanks Kerry]. We’ll be shipping one of the first units out to Kerry for the win. [...]

Here’s a look at a prototype motorized trailer sent to me today and it’s attached to a PNC Pico Dolly. Still a prototype, it’s supposed be universal and have some mounting options to attach to several different dollies or maybe even sliders? The idea is to have a motorized push cart to have consistent movement [...]

Thanks to YouTube member dim3m for sending in this fine example of a modified Pico Flex Dolly. [Thanks dim3m] The rear trailer contains the servo, servo controller, batteries, etc. The laser alignment shows you the cross point reference for the center of rotation. Having motorized control gives you more consistent movement across the entire rotation. [...]

Vimeo member Karen Abad put together this amazing little stop motion story using the Pico Flex Table dolly to move the camera. It’s possible to attempt this project with something as small as the new iPhone 4s with the Shark Clip attached too. Awesome work on this project, and another very creative use for the [...]

Great job from Vimeo member Oliver for this DIY motorized Pico Flex Table Dolly. It’s a direct friction based drive wheel, which doesn’t require much torque. The dolly rolls very easily with little effort from a motor. I was testing out something similar several weeks ago using a pulley wheel to a continuous rotating servo [...]

It’s been just over a month since the Pico Flex Dolly was released, and since then it has not sold internationally (including Canada). Sorry people, it’s really much more complicated than it appears. There’s been quite a few hurdles [...]

I’m sure many of you already know about this particular Velbon fluid head. It’s been a hit for a while now, and I thought it was finally time for me to test one out. As much as possible I love shooting with smaller cameras, and this fluid head was a great surprise. Works great as [...]

The Pico Flex Dolly has already been motorized with lasers, so what else can we expect? Here’s something quite odd. This is just something I happened upon and although it’s not perfect, maybe it [...]

Hopefully people are pretty familiar with the Pico Flex Table Dolly and I don’t need to give these little tools an introduction. There were two pre-orders open a few weeks ago which were wiped out very quickly once the item was featured on PetaPixel, Engadget, Gizmodo, TechCrunch, LifeHacker, and practically every other top gadget [...]

YouTube member dim3m has got the right idea on using the Pico Flex Table Dolly. And on that note, keep watch on this blog. Orders should begin opening up again in anytime now….. [Thanks dim3m]

Since the inception of the SpiderTrax dolly, there have been quite a few iterations from a number of different companies. Those units on the market were either still pretty large, or built with poor quality. This time around, I wanted to focus on flexibility and portability. I tried to achieve the highest quality possible, in [...]
