THE FIRST, BEST, AND MOST POPULAR ELECTROMECHANICAL DOLLY IN THE WORLD
|
The
highly regarded Panther Dolly System has been used extensively around the
world for shooting precise camera movements for commercials, music videos,
television productions, sporting events, industrial films, table top projects
and motion pictures.
The SUPER PANTHER is a sophisticated, yet extremely easy to use, center-post
dolly. It is amazingly quiet, due to the electromechanical battery power
supply to the center column. The Super Panther also tracks very well with
its built-in track wheels, in addition to working on difficult terrain
with air tires or on smoother surfaces with silicon studio wheels.
The dolly's advanced computer system allows the operator to program
both speed and position of the vertical movement of the center post, upon
which two operators ride and the camera is positioned. So, for a compact,
highly maneuverable dolly the Super Panther is incredibly strong and vastly
versatile.
The dolly's versatility can be easily seen utilizing these attributes: |
The Super Panther's Center Column is the essence
of the dolly. Moving silently and without vibration through a hand-held
remote control unit, the Center Column can be programmed to remember every
position for fast setups and retakes. In addition, there is a manual override
on the remote control allowing the operator to precisely follow the action,
even if it's "off the mark". |

The Super Panther's Base has several ways in which to position the legs
to allow for narrow openings or limited transport space. The standard leg
position is only 800mm (31.5 inches) at its widest, while the narrow configuration
is only 520mm (20.5 inches) |
The Super Panther has a number of wonderfully functional accessories:

SUPER PANTHER + SUPER JIB I

 |
 |
Maximum Height
92.52 Inches |
Lowest position setting
7.87 Inches |
|
The piece de resistance in design for this compact dolly is the Super Jib,
which safely and smoothly carries camera and operator to a lens height
of 2.6M (8.5') in just 3.2 seconds with a 360 degree rotation. Imagine
creating shots utilizing a highly maneuverable mini crane inside an apartment,
an office, even a bathroom. |

Super Panther + U-Bangi II
|
The Gliding Ubangi II attached to the Super PantherŐs center post, provides
smooth three axes camera movement - vertical from the center post, horizontal
with the ball bearing controlled Ubangi, and 360 degree free-floating rotation.
Wonderful tabletop shot possibilities exist with the Gliding Ubangi II
and the Super Panther. Add the dolly's horizontal movement along track
or on wheels, and shot possibilities become endless. |
The Low Rig drops camera angles to ground level or lower. Attached to
the Super Panther's center post, the Low Rig also provides smooth flowing
vertical movement. Combine the tracking capability of the dolly for added
creativity. |
