Reviews: None yet 'Seat and dolly comes independent. It wouldn't make any sense to order a ballare dolly without a seat though. So I included it in the price. Uses a unique wheel system that not only follows curves and non-paralell track, but also tackles uneven (bumpy) track without derailing (cinevate). It features dual stance adjustment for use both with a jib (wide), or as a doorway dolly (narrow). There are 44 ball bearings, 16 wheels, and a stainless steel fastener set used with the result that the system is very strong and smooth. Construction is 100% CNC milled/formed aluminum. The optional 100mm bowl/tower attaches with no tools and extends from 28 to 53 inches. It is designed to support both a camera and a jib (coming soon!) The dolly will ship with two pipe couplers to seamlessly join two 1" ID tubes together. Uses shedule 40, 25mm ID PVC pipe as it bends very nicely for use with curved setups. weight: 47lbs capacity: 600lbs price: $1'700costs: <font color="YellowGreen"><font color="Wheat"><font color="SandyBrown">[medium]  '<font color="YellowGreen"> quality:<font color="Orange"><font color="YellowGreen">[high]  <font color="YellowGreen"> <font color="DeepSkyBlue">   Extends from 28 to 53 inches and allows use of a 100mm tripod head, or jib mounted to the dolly.
