The Dana Dolly has become the industry standard, the “Kleenex” of speed rail solutions.  Launched in 2017, a lot of thought went into our Version 1 of the Dana Dolly integration. We got it mostly right. This integration kit is great for shooting interviews, products, and visual effects while also being compatible with all 8 configurations of straight track Dana Dolly.

We recognized the kit can be better and thought that a kit that was ultra-easy to set up, but only for most users, might be the way to go, but our V2 Version was never released.

Dana Dolly Integration Version 3 is a complete redesign and is beltless

It gets rid of the end clamps; it gets rid of the belt and uses a direct drive motor mounted under the Dana Dolly carriage to provide the power. 

A few design highlights:

  • It is super simple to set up and attach to your Dana Dolly - initial setup time is less than 5 minutes
  • Subsequent setup time is nothing - place the carriage on the track, turn on and go.  
  • It is smooth and quiet
  • Can go long - with no belt front how long do you want/need to go!
  • Toggle to manual mode by disengaging the drive wheel and locking it out of the way 
  • Supports curved track!  By losing the belt, we support new configurations that open up new possible shot types
  • Lower Pricing!  Pricing for the new kit will be $489 ($439 for presale) and is less than our existing Dana Dolly V1 integration kit!

We have spent time on how we can most reliably drive the dolly with accuracy over time – even without sensing.  We focused on wheel suspension to keep constant wheel pressure against the rail, as well as creating custom wheels with the right durometer or hardness to enable grip and durability

This design solves a lot of problems for users who want to quickly create establishment shots, product shots, and even timelapse whether shooting with our Spectrum ST4, or Conductor SA2.6 as the controller.  

With our Conductor SA2.6 controllers, we add track sensing to optically read markers on the rails for continuous correction for minor wheel slippage that will always occur with friction drives. With this, all day interview shots with no resets are easy. For a complete solution with no compromises, this is why we are launching DDV3 with our Conductor line first.

We will add track sensing / calibration with the Spectrum line of products too, but the tech is a little bit different, and it's not ready yet. If you are interested in helping us beta test this - send us a note to sales@emotimo.com with the subject line: DDV3 Spectrum Beta Test interest!
