OUR CLASSIC PLUS DOLLY

The Classic Plus camera dolly is the successor of the worldwide loved Classic Dolly. This sets a new standard for all camera dollies. The dolly is based on a rugged, almost maintenance free and sturdy design. The central column configuration of the Classic Plus Dolly provides its user with easy operation and unconstrained versatility already in its' basic configuration.

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.

360° ROTATABLE

By far the best turnstile: the patented High-Low turnstile. It has a huge range of functions and is loved by all our customers.

Maximum flexibility

The turnstile can be rotated by 360 degrees and interlocked through a gear tooth system. The height of the seat can be regulated easily, by pressing a button, to ensure maximum comfort for the cameraman. Disturbing rotation sound is removed due to a brass bushing (sound recording on set). The mounted bowl or mitchell can be rotated by 360 degrees in 16 different tilt positions (every 22,5°).
A second seat, for example for the camera assistant, is implemented with a few simple steps.

With the High-Low turnstile you can change fast between the highest position (ca. 1,70 m / 5,6” – with tube extention over 2 m / 6,6”) and the ground level position – without removing the camera or the fluid head.

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.

COMBI WHEEL UNIT

With our Combi Wheel Unit, the Dolly can be driven onto the tracks 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.

RANGE EXTENDER

The patented Range Extender doubles the lift range and speed without increasing the footprint of the Dolly. In this way, even lower and even higher positions can be reached. A 100% linear camera movement delights the focus puller.

Standard & waterproof Wireless Handset

Every person is different. Everyone has different needs and expectations. To offer something for all Grips, each dolly can be configured individually – starting with the handsets. The Standard Handset (177648) is included.
‍
As an option there is a waterproof Wireless Handset (302788) available. It can be used wireless and via cable. Charging is done via cable usage or with standard charging cable on a wall socket. It has lots of amazing features:

• Limit and Program
• Column height control in %
• Battery check of dolly and handset
• Charging via handset cable connection to the dolly
• Fine adjustable speed control

COLUMN DOLLY PLATFORMS

The versatile platforms can be assembled in unprecidented ways. They can be mounted on the steering sleeves to create a flat surface, completely without trip hazards. Machined from solid, each component offers fast and non play connection. A case for transport is available.

Snap On Batteries

Our long-lasting dolly battery (107758) has proven itself many times on set by stability, robust housing and the popular "snap-on mechanism". An integrated button with indicator allows you to control always the batterys’ charging status.
The snap-on mechanism has been designed to fix the batteries without any tools. The battery is “clipped” to the dolly with a quick handle and does not have to be additionally tightened.

CHARGING STATION

Charge smart: with the Charging Station  you can charge up to 2 Batteries simultaneously. It has an integrated handle and a very compact design. There is also a Case available with space for 2 Charging Stations.

All around the Dolly

As a standard the Steering Rod (143552) is included. To provide maximum flexibility, it can be inserted in all 4 wheel arms. Further Small Steering Rods (129832) can be ordered additionally.

STEER OUT EXTENSION

To maneuver the dolly with more distance the Steer Out Extension is the perfect solution, because it increases legroom.
In addition to that the Steer Out Extention prevents a rotating of the dolly by central pushing.

The Steer Out Extension is removable. It can be mounted on all 4 sides of the dolly. So you are able to remove it, when you don't need it.
The dolly can be furthermore operated easily, because the handset has its’ place in the steering rod.

Foldable Push Bar

To maneuver the dolly with more distance the Steer Out Extension is the perfect solution, because it increases legroom.
In addition to that the Steer Out Extention prevents a rotating of the dolly by central pushing.

Protect your Panther Dolly

To bring the dolly on location and protect it against any damages we designed a case (100562) for the Classic Plus.
