BUDDY PLUS
ABOUT
OUR BUDDY PLUS DOLLY
The Buddy Plus dolly is a versatile Film and Video dolly. Compact measurements, extreme stability and variability will convince even demanding professionals. The body is the same that we have on our Classic Plus dolly. Therefore we have maximum compatibility to exisiting accessories, such as platforms, carrying bars, etc.
Ergonomic Design
All control elements are coloured to be easily recongized and easy to handle. The bolts can be fixed in „open“ position and can be adapted to the tracks perfectly – especially in curves. The ergonomic design facilitates intuitive working. Switch-over is completely done without tools. So the Classic Plus can be operated in narrow gauge (36 cm) or in wide gauge (62 cm) by using the locking pin.
WHEELS
COMBI-WHEELS
With our combi wheel unit, the dolly can be driven onto the track without lifting it. Various wheels for different undergrounds are available. All single wheels and even the complete combi wheel can be changed quickly and easily due to dove tail connections. An integrated „BRAKE lever“ will brake the studio- or air wheels simultaneously with the track wheels.

CRAB & STEER
CRAB & STEER MECHANISM
Crab is included as a standard. The "Steer" mode can be ordered as an option.The biggest points of difference of our patented Crab & Steer mechanism are perfect, mathematically calculated elliptical steering sprockets. With that the wheels are in a steering geometry (see picture below).
This steering geometry ensures perfect and smooth circular curves without drift, noise, high rolling resistance or even blocking wheels. Other dollys are not able to move the dollys in tight curves, because the wheels’ position is parallel and so it blocks! Changing Steering mode is easily done by shifting the blue "Crab + Steer" lever.

STEERING MODES
CRAB
In CRAB mode, all wheels are parallel and can move freely. This means you can switch from forwards-backwards movements to right-left movements very quickly.Panther Dolly battery with "Snap-On" mechanism
STEER
In STEER mode, the two rear wheels are fixed in parallel and the wheels at the front can move freely. These move with a toe difference angle and thus ensure seamless steering.
TRANSPORT
Compact
Compact transport is given through the many options of wheel arm positions. Every wheel arm can be adjusted separately to offer maximum flexibility for all transport situations.
