A fast efficient way to achieve a smooth dolly track shot. Designed for use with most camera dollies not exceeding 34" in width. Each truck consists of 8 wheels, 32 per set, staggered in position. Wheels are engineered to perform on older, less than perfect track as well as the newer, more precision track systems using 1-1/2" diameter rails. The Centipede likes weight; wheels will maintain round under normal conditions. For maximum performance minimum weight load is 200lbs. Maximum load is 1500lbs. Dollies not exceeding 46" wheelbase will work well with the 10' diameter curve track.

LED Ring light $300.00 per day. Non-Discountable.

Employing an array of seventy-two segments of ultra-powerful LEDs laid out in a precisely spaced concentric design, this ingenious illumination tool produces an even quality of luminous, soft, directional output.

Ringlite controls lighting through three separate, adjustable circuits. Operators can select 24, 48 or the full 72 LED segments. Thanks to its heat-free and flicker-free output, Ringlite can be moved in close with no discomfort to the subject. The system's ergonomic integrated dimmer control enables instant dimming from 100% to 0 with minimal shift in color. For additional lighting refinement, a set of interchangeable correction/diffusion gels is available. They fit neatly on the face of the unit, held in place by a translucent cover.

400-Watt Joker $450.00 per day. Discountable.

The Joker-Bug 400 combines the characteristics of the BUG-LITE 400, a 400-Watt daylight HMI system without optics, with those of the JOKER 400, a PAR 46 fixture using a specular parabolic reflector and a set of 4 lenses. The JOKER-BUG 400 is comparable to a 1500/2000Wquartz fixture but with a power draw of only 5.5 Amps. In the Bug-Lite mode (no optics) the main application is in traditional Lightbanks as well as Lanterns where it uses the sides as a large reflector, collecting the maximum output of the lamp and filling the front screen very evenly. It is very powerful in daylight interiors and can operate in any position including pointing straight down. The BEAMER optical accessory turns the BUG-LITE into a JOKER-BUG, a directional PAR unit offering various beam patterns through quick lens changes.
