When renting your dana dolly, be sure to inquire about the Dana Dolly Track Kit. After struggling with frustrating bumps in standard 1 ¼” aluminum pipe, we recently upgraded to this kit.

Precision Engineering and Internal Rigidity

The Dana Dolly Track Kit features triangulated extruded aluminum that assembles in 3ft sections to reach a 9ft total length. Engineers designed the joints using internal sleeves that tighten securely inside the track when you tension the bolt on the bottom of each rail. This mechanism ensures a rigid, seamless connection for the smoothest possible dolly moves.

Elite Portability and Protection

The kit is packaged in a rolling Pelican case, which travels well on the plane, or in smaller vehicles.

Versatility and Load Capacity

The Dana Dolly Portable Track Kit empowers operators to transport professional-grade rails to any location effortlessly. Specifically, the triangular track integrates perfectly with the Dana Dolly and most skateboard-wheel systems set at 45°. This robust setup reliably supports up to 100 pounds of camera gear and accessories.

Component Breakdown and Assembly

Consequently, each kit provides six 3′ track sections and nine splicers to build a seamless 9′ run. Furthermore, the package includes four end adapters and all necessary assembly hardware. However, users should note that the kit excludes the Dana Dolly itself. Similarly, you must purchase track ends and center supports separately to complete the rig. Ultimately, this system offers an unparalleled balance of portability and rock-solid performance for filmmakers on the move.

Advanced Material Science

Premium Construction: Dana Dolly crafts the rails from 6061 aluminum with a Type 3 black anodized finish. This mil-spec treatment provides a thicker, more durable surface that resists wear and corrosion better than standard anodizing.

Optimizing the Glide

• Modular Expansion: Each kit provides enough sections to build 9 feet of seamless rail. Furthermore, you can integrate additional kits to extend the track to any required length.
• Precision Seaming: To eliminate the bumps common with straight-seam rails, Dana Dolly recommends mirroring the angled joints. Specifically, you assemble both rails and then flip one 180 degrees. This technique ensures the wheels never hit two seams simultaneously, maintaining a fluid and silent glide.
• Assembly Hardware: The system utilizes eight track splicers for a full assembly, though the kit includes a ninth spare splicer for added security on set.
• Mounting Flexibility: The End Adapters bridge the track to Dana Dolly Original or Universal Track Ends. Please note that you must source these Track Ends separately to mount the rails onto stands.
