Panther X-Type Column
The Panther X-Type column has a 360° rotatable High-Low-Turnstile for multiple use and can be detached from the base Dolly for easy transport. The batteries are mounted at the bottom of the column. This provides more legroom for the DOP. Furthermore a lower center of gravity of the Dolly is achieved and minimizes the risk of tipping over – thus increasing safety.
360° ROTATABLE
We don’t need a rotatable column
10kg lighter column!
Our High-Low turnstile eliminates the need for a separate pivot bearing for the column. This makes the column of the Dolly 10kg lighter.
RANGE EXTENDER
It’s taking you higher!
The patented Range Extender doubles the lift range and speed without increasing the footprint of the Dolly. In this way, even lower and even higher positions can be reached. A 100% linear camera movement delights the focus puller.
TRACKRIDE & PUSHBAR
For a more comfortabel handling
DETACHABLE carrying handles
For a slimmer design
To be able to operate the dolly even better everywhere, we made the carrying handles removable. This means that even the last centimeter can be utilized if there is a lack of space.
Crab & steer mechanism
Patented and loved worldwide
The dolly has three steering modes in the basic version: CRAB, FRONT, REAR. The optional Crab & Steer Kit adds the STEER mode with perfect steering geometry. This is made possible by mathematically calculated sprockets in elyptic design. The result is a low-friction, low-noise and smooth maneuvering, even in curves.
DETAILS
Brake, Ster Mode Selector, Steering Sleeve
STEERING SLEEVE
The wheel arms, machined from high-strength aluminum, have steering sleeves that can accommodate versatile accessories.
STEER MODE SELECTOR
The combi-wheel-unit has been expanded to include a steer mode selector with three positions: FIX, FREE, STEER. This allows the desired position to be set with one turn, regardless of whether the dolly is in the standard or narrow gauge.
BRAKE
The brake lever brakes both the track wheel and the studio/air wheel.
STEERING
5 Possibilities
The steering rod can be mounted in 5 different positions. The central steering avoids the twisting of the Dolly and is achieved with the optional Steer-Out-Extension. It is attached and detached within seconds.
CENTER MOUNT
Fits every Dolly brand
With the center mount, the Dolly serves as a base for jib arms or cranes up to a weight of 800 kg. If you want the jib to be higher, you can use our Center Mount Extension.
REMOTE CONTROL
Our waterproof Bluetooth Handset
The X Type Dolly can be operated via our Bluetooth Handset. You can use it wireless or via cable. It allows you to set heights, control speeds and monitor the battery level and much more. We also offer a case (312897) for the handset for both protection and organisation.
PLATFORMS
Love at first sight
The versatile platforms can be assembled in unprecidented ways. They can be mounted on the steering sleeves to create a flat surface, completely without trip hazards. Machined from solid, each component offers fast and non play connection. Our platforms fit for all Panther column Dollies and Magnum Dolly. A case for transport is available.
Ring Platform
Love at first sight
The ring platform serves as a footrest for the
cameraman. There are two versions to choose from
Version 1: Foldable Column Platform (4 pcs.) 314402
Small footrests with folding mechanism so that no feet
You can pinch.
Version 2: Ring Platform 314408
Only in combination with version 1!
Large all-round platform for safe footing and easy
manoeuvring around the dolly column.
Combi-Wheels
Reinvented
Our combi wheel unit allows you to drive the dolly onto the track without lifting it. Various wheels for different undergrounds are available. All single wheels and even the complete combi wheel can be changed quickly and easily due to dove tail connections. An integrated „BRAKE lever“ will brake the studio- or air wheels simultaneously with the track wheels.
