The Dana Dolly Track Kit for Filmmakingis a portable track kit for operators that wish to travel with their own dolly track. The triangular track is designed for use with the Dana Dolly, but should be compatible with most similar style dollies that use skateboard wheels set at 45°, and supports up to 100 pounds of camera, accessories and dolly. The kit includes six 3' track sections, nine track splicers, four end adapters, and necessary hardware to assemble 9' of track. Please note the kit only includes the triangular track and hardware, it does not include a Dana Dolly, Track Ends, or Center Support which must be purchased separately.

The triangular track is made from extruded 6061 Aluminum that is Type 3 Anodized black. The ends of the track are cut at an angle to minimize dolly bumps at track joins. The tracks are female on both ends, and are joined by the included extruded aluminum splicers that fit inside the track. The End Adapters attach to track splicers on the end, and allow you to use the Track Ends that came with your Dana Dolly, or are available separately, so you can mount the track on available stands, not included. The track sections, and hardware fit into an SKB case with custom cut foam.

The kit comes with enough track sections to assemble 9' of seamless dolly track. However, you can purchase additional kits to extend your track beyond 9'.

When assembling the track, Dana Dolly recommends that you mirror the angled seams to minimize bumps from track joins that are common with track that has track ends with straight seams. Mirroring the seams mean that you assemble the sections of track into your track rails. Then flip one of the assembled rails so that the angled seams are in different direction.

The track rails are made from extruded 6061 aluminum that is treated with Type 3 black anodizing, which is a mil spec anodizing that is thicker, and more wear/corrosion resistant than common anodizing.

Fully assembling the track requires eight track splicers, an extra splicer is included as a spare.

The End Adapters allow you to attach the track to available Dana Dolly Original and Universal Track Ends, which are not included and must be sourced separately.

Assembling the track only requires the use of the included "T" tool.

Q: 5. how well would 6ft-10ft of PVC Schedule 40 Pipes hold up?

A: That depends on how much weight you are putting on the Pipes and how you intend to use them. If you plan to lay your dolly track on the floor for instance 6-10 feet probably isn't going to be a problem, however, if you plan to elevate the dolly then 6-10 feet will become very problematic. PVC Pipes are known to flex and break therefore you'd have to be extremely cautious about how and where you apply your supports. In addition to that, the heavier the payload the more cautious you have to be about how and where the supports are located. It is safest to use metal tracks if available at that distance.
