The Glide Gear SYL-960 is an amazingly versatile track dolly. This unit will allow you to make world class professional films for a fraction of the price of some of the other upper end track dollys on the market. At the heart of the new Glide Gear SYL-960 track dolly system is the advanced sliding swivel wheel system. These wheels are not only full 360deg. swivel, but also able to freely slide within the wheel housing in any direction by an extra 1". This means that the track can be as uneven as 2" in places and still not effect the smooth operation of the Glide Gear SYL-960 track dolly. In addition to all of these features, the Glide Gear SYL-901 is a hybrid that can easily be converted into a rolling camera dolly with the included regular swivel wheel castors. Each swivel track wheel assembly comes with four track wheels (4-wheels) for maximum stability and each castor wheel has 360deg. swivel and locking mechanism. These track wheels are made for movement along a track, they have the most surface area in contact with the track surface possible.
- Dual-Wheel Versatility: The SYL 960 comes with two interchangeable sets of wheels—4 caster wheels for smooth floor use and 4 urethane wheels designed specifically for track use, accommodating tracks with a 1-2" diameter.
- 360° Swivel & Sliding Wheel System: Experience unparalleled control with a full 360° swivel and sliding swivel wheels that can adapt to uneven surfaces up to 2 inches, ensuring smooth and stable camera movements in any environment.
- High-Grade Aluminum Construction: Crafted from aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum alloy, this hybrid dolly is lightweight yet incredibly durable, supporting up to 35 lbs while maintaining portability and ease of use.
- Compact & Portable Design: The SYL 960 is foldable and comes with a carry bag for easy transport and storage, making it an ideal choice for on-the-go videographers who need a reliable and convenient solution for dynamic shots.
- Enhanced Stability & Compatibility: Extendable legs provide up to 5 inches of additional width for wider tracks, while the anti-corrosive aluminum ensures longevity. The dolly's advanced wheel system guarantees smooth tracking on both floor and track setups, offering professional-grade performance at an affordable price.
