The Wally Dolly is one of the most versatile and simple-to-use dollies around. It allows the camera operator to have complete control of each dolly move, as no other operator is required. The Wally Dolly comes complete with a 3 meter track system. This unique track system is made of aluminum and each section simply screws together by Acetal male and female plugs to form a SEAMLESS JOINT. The lightweight and compact design of the Wally Dolly and track system make it portable and minimal setup time is required. The complete Wally Dolly kit weighs only 17 pounds. A low boy camera mount is also available for those hard to get low shots. It attaches directly onto the Wally Dolly in seconds and has a 100mm bowl suitable for most ENG pan and tilt heads. The low boy camera mount weighs only 1.5 pounds.

Matthews Studio Equipment introduces the DC Slider, a multifunctional camera platform that offers many creative possibilities to camera operators. By combining an unusually long variable-angled camera slider track with mini-jib functionality, the DC-Slider is truly remarkable displaying both state-of-the-art technology and precision engineering. Additionally, the DC-Slider quickly transforms into a vertical 6-foot tower. In this configuration the DC-Slider's counterbalancing feature ensures precision camera moves are smooth and steady. And that's what makes it so unique! ANGLES: The DC-Slider allows a wide rance of variable angle operations. No matter how acute the angle, the counterbalance system will assure steady and stable camera movements. A simple, positive-locking adjustment feature allows for camera placement at the exact vertical or off-axis position for creative imaging. Minimum and maximum heights of the DC-Slider in the multi-angled positions are dependent on the height of the tripod. MINI-JIB: In the Mini-Jib mode, the DC-Slider operates a working diameter of 63" (160cm) on the horizontal. The counterbalance system is locked to ensure unvarying movements through the full-range of the jib arm's capabilities. An easy adjustment of the parallelogram bar will allow the camera to stay locked on to a subject through the rance of the jib arm's vertical travel rather than staying in a fixed attitude. The maximum and minimum operating heights of the Mini-jib function are dependent on the height of the tripod. SLIDER: The DC-Slider can be mounted on a single tripod or placed on level or uneven surfaces and the constant counterbalance feature will always maintain a uniform pressure that ensures uniform camera movements throughout the full tracking length of 63" (160cm)
