Rent the Dana Dolly Portable Dolly Kit (with Rails)

Meet your smooth-move combo: the Dana Dolly Portable Dolly System with Universal Track Ends, paired with the Dana Dolly Portable Aluminum Pipe Kit. Together, they form a compact, travel-friendly slider/dolly solution you can rent for dependable, repeatable camera movement without wrestling full-length speed rail.

What’s Included with Your Rental

• Dana Dolly platform with 16 custom soft polyurethane wheels (ABEC-7 bearings)
• Two Universal Track Ends + Center Support
• 75mm, 100mm, and 150mm bowl adapters (fits your usual fluid heads)
• Monitor mount, T-tool, and custom wheeled flight case
• Six (6) pieces of 39″ schedule-80 aluminum pipe with threaded ends + padded carry bag

Renting both together gives you the dolly plus roughly a 10-foot run of track (117″ per side when all pipes are joined). That’s plenty for establishing slides, product passes, and tastefully dramatic “push-ins” your editor will thank you for.

Why It’s Useful

The wheel trucks swivel, so the dolly rides on straight (or curved track if you supply curved pipes); the 16-wheel layout keeps the glide consistent and quiet. The Universal Track Ends drop onto Junior receivers or Baby pins (Junior strongly recommended for stability), and the included center support helps with longer spans or heavier packages. Translation for your shoot day: quick setup, predictable movement, fewer surprises, happier clients.

Compatibility & Setup

The Universal Track Ends accept standard “speed rail” pipe sizes: nominal 1-1/4″ pipe (≈1.66″ OD) up to 1.9″ OD. However, with this kit, you aren't forced to get any on your own. The pipe kit included here is schedule-80 aluminum, 39″ sections that thread together—easy to pack in a car trunk and easy to carry to set.

Heads, Mounting & Capacity

On top you’ll find a standard Mitchell mount with 75/100/150mm bowl adapters, so most cine/video heads are covered. Note that this kit does NOT provide a flat-mount, so if you have a head with that mount, you'll need an adapter. The platform itself is machined aluminum (14″ × 10″), rated for up to 100 lb, and offers accessory holes for mounting small bits (monitor arms, etc.). In short: plenty of head and mounting options for the most common accessories.

Typical Uses

If you’re renting for interviews, product b-roll, or narrative work, this kit gives you a reliable way to add motion without building a full track cart. It’s also a smart rental when you’re shooting in tight spaces or moving between locations—short pipe sections mean less awkward hallway jousting. Great for productions renting a gimbal too: use the dolly for locked-axis slides and let the gimbal take the walking shots.

Rental Notes

You’re renting the dolly kit and pipe kit together for a ready-to-shoot package—no last-minute pipe run required. The only thing not included are stands. "But why?", I hear you asking. Well, it's because each use case is different, and we didn't want to make any assumptions about your specific needs. If you need a suggestion, we recommend sturdy Junior/Combo stands for best results (see related products below).
