FloatCam DollyCrane HD

User Manual pdf

This is a heavy-duty motorised slider that can support large cameras and lenses. It is counterbalanced with weights and can be used for highly accurate and incredibly smooth movements with the addition of the wireless motion-control device (available separately).

The slider can be used vertically as well as horizontally. In addition to this you can use it as a short jib. Its precise control and counter-balanced movement enables you to move it accurately and smoothly, and if necessary very slowly for time lapses. This is an incredible piece of technology and very useful for particular shots, especially where stop motion and CGI are involved.

As the model name implies, this is a heavy duty version of the popular DollyCrane, and can handle much larger cameras like the ARRI ALEXA, RED ONE, SONY F65 without compromising stability, performance and, of course, creativity. It’s an innovative grip system combining the function of Mini Jib and slider. It carries a payload up to 32kg.

DollyCrane HD combines the function of the slider, Mini Jib and tower.

Once set up, the system can instantly change its function

from slider to Mini Jib and back thanks to its unique construction.

Dolly

By utilizing a movable counterweight, the camera can be tracked up to 160 cm, much further than in typical sliders. The slider rail can be set at almost any angle (max. 60 degrees plus exact vertical 90 degrees movement) and with the counterweight system, the camera can be moved up and down the slider with minimal effort. As the camera moves in one direction, the counterweight tracks in the opposite direction, allowing for continuous perfect balance and control.And that’s what makes DollyCrane HD so unique!

MINI JIB

In the Mini Jib mode, the DollyCrane HD operates a working diameter of 160 cm on the horizontal. The operator can tilt, pan and move the camera 360 degrees around the base tripod. The counterbalance system is locked to ensure unvarying movements through the full range of the jib arm’s capabilities. The maximum and minimum operating heights of the Mini Jib function are dependent on the height of the tripod.

With the simple removal and repositioning of two handles, the DollyCrane HD becomes a tower allowing for an exact vertical camera move through the full range of the 160cm track. Minimum and maximum heights of the camera moves, when mounted on the tower, are dependent on tripod configuration. The counterbalance system maintains a steady resistance to camera moves reducing the possibilities of irregular movements during the start or finish of a camera move.

As the camera moves in one direction, the counterweight tracks

in the opposite direction, allowing for continuous perfect balance and control.

And that’s what makes DollyCrane HD so unique!
