The Losmandy Spider Camera Dolly is the most portable professional camera dolly on the market. See the Losmandy® Spider Dollies in action. |

| This versatile design can be configured as a 3- or 4-Leg Dolly. Purchasers of the 3-Leg Spider Dolly can later add components to their kit to upgrade to the rideable 4-Leg Spider Dolly. Owners of the 4-Leg Spider Dolly can configure the dolly for use as a 3-Leg Spider Dolly. The components of either Dolly can also be used as a Mini Trolley. Combined with Losmandy FlexTrak, the simple 3-Leg Spider Dolly converts your tripod into an inexpensive, extremely portable, tracking camera dolly. Add a fourth leg, and you can further accessorize it to be a fully rideable 4-Leg Spider Dolly with adjustable center column, a seat that pivots 360 degrees around the column, foot platforms and pushbar. The Losmandy® Spider Dolly can work on traditional steel track, or on track made of PVC pipe, or on our award winning Losmandy FlexTrak -- a flexible track made of special steel-reinforced tubing that not only rolls up into a bundle for easy transport, but also allows you to make straight or curved dolly moves with almost no set-up time.

Losmandy camera dollies are a better choice for 3 reasons: 1) Flexibility. The 3-Leg Tripod Dolly can be upgraded to become a fully rideable 4-Leg Dolly, or the 4-Leg Dolly can be set up as a 3-Leg Tripod Dolly if one needs to work alone. 2) Floating Wheels on one of the track rails. There is no need to measure a precise separation between the track, you simply approximate a 2 foot (60cm) separation and the floating wheels move in and out to compensate for any deviation in the spacing. This makes setting up a run on FlexTrak almost instantaneous. 3) 360° pivoting seat. This feature truly sets our dolly apart from most other dollies because it allows the camera operator's body to move effortlessly in sync with the panning motion of his fluid head. Other dollies with stationary seats are impractical if there is any panning involved in the shot. The Losmandy® Spider Dolly has a versatile base that allows for additional configurations. The Extended Leg Version of the Spider Dolly, when combined with floor wheels and the Lightweight Tripod, creates an easy and safe way to position heavy cameras and jib arms. The base can also be configured to become a tabletop Mini Trolley. If you are comparing dolly systems and are unclear about the advantages of a tripod dolly versus a rideable dolly, please click here to visit our Learning Center and read "Pivoting Seat vs. Stationary Seat vs. No Seat." |
| Do you want to put a tripod-supported jib onto track? To create complex moves combining a jib arm with a dolly can be difficult. We have a solution that works well with our Standard Porta-Jib and Lightweight tripod, but this 5-leg dolly solution can also work with other tripods and jibs to solve this problem. Standard Porta-Jib on Losmandy® 5-Leg Spider Dolly shown with 4 track wheel clusters and optional LightWeight tripod on standard steel dolly track. Click here for details, accessories and pricing. |

| Losmandy Spider Dollies have a unique wheel system. On one side, the wheels simply pivot at the center of the wheel cluster. We call this side the guide wheel side. On the other side, the wheels have a double pivot, which allows the wheels to float in and out several inches to compensate for variations in the spacing of the FlexTrak. |  Swivel must remain within this range |
 |
| The Spider Dolly can be used in
either a 3 leg, 4 leg or 5 leg configuration. |
