16Feb Cinevate – Trawly Dolly
Cinevate shares a clever idea of adding wheels to their Simplis stabilizer rig allowing them to get more creative dolly / tracking shots. They’ve provided it with the name ‘Trawly’. Very clever stuff guys! What do you guys think?

I think it’s awesome. Unfortunately, I do most of my shooting outside where there isn’t many smooth surfaces. Therefore a slider is the better option for me. However, I plan on getting one of these for when I’m shooting inside. Most of my future projects heavily take place inside.

i think its still very expensive, but cool nonetheless:)

would be cool if i wanted to shoot every shot of people’s feet..

Innovative. The wheels aren’t obtrusive in appearance that, you can use this as a shoulder rig (just about everyone owns one now) with the bonus of a table dolly.
@andy Don’t limit yourself to smooth floor shots, get creative and use vertical smooth walls, park benches, glass windows especially like front or rear winshield that’s angled.

Very cool concept!
…but that price is ridiculous

It’s cool but not enough I don’t think

It looks like a solution in search of a problem.

I see people putting bearings and skate wheels on those bendy tripods all the time. surely that is cheaper!

I don’t know about this. With always having to adjust and tighten and change wheels out…The parts will wear out pretty quickly. I love Cinevate but this is something I will pass up.

Ok, I like the idea but the cost is over the top. Anyone know where to get wheels and axels that would be 1/4 X 20?

@RJett – You can always just get a Pico Dolly.

Love how versatile it is … but over-priced …

Cinevate is a little pricey but I bought the Dual Simplis because I liked how it felt when I tested it. I just ordered the wheels and now think I’ll have a really compact little setup for handholding my camera and getting some cool movements.
