Linear movement with macro-lens precision
For Nerds
Features
| Multiple Orientations | Under-slung / Over-slung |
| Angled ➜ Rise or decend up to 40 degrees | |
| Vertical (with compact cam packages up to 9 lbs) |
| Lateral slide, dolly push / pull | |
| Smoother than a fluid head especially with longer speedrail lengths when the operator must take steps | |
| Wheeled slider and Lowboy Combo stands save time getting the rig into position | |
| Pipe clamps, cheeseboroughs, and Magic Fingers allow for fine tune control over the exact angle | |
| Precision slider speed control at fast and slow velocities | |
| Precision hand-wheel control is far superior to a tripod head in an awkward under-slung position on a Dana Dolly or Jib | |
| Hand-wheel precision — smoother and more accurate than a fluid head for longer focal length lenses and even with 100mm macro lenses | |
| Frame shots with confidence from the comfort of a larger reference monitor rather than tracking with a moving onboard camera monitor |

| Rails, Dolly Base, Vertical Pole, Gimbal Plate | |
| Under-slung allows for fastest transitions between MoVI Ring and Dana Dolly | |
| Under-slung is best for greater tilt-down angles | |
| Goal-post front rails to avoid seeing track in Dolly in/out moves | |

Motion Control
Traditionally, dolly grips push dollies and sliders by hand in order to hit start / stop marks. We’ve developed a more technical workflow utilizing our motion control slider and gimbal to keyframe these positions.

— For buttery smooth starts + stops
- Create keyframes with a joystick, tablet, or laptop
- Absolute, repeatable marks and shot duration ➜
- Makes the focus puller’s job much easier and predictable
- Avoids human error / less than perfect starts, landings, easing, and timing
- Maintains organic hand wheel control over camera pan / tilt / roll
- Allowing the camera operator to react to the performance
- Digital hand wheel rates for macro-level precision
