The Round-D-Round Doorway Dolly from Matthews represents the next generation in doorway dolly development. Based on the industry standard Matthews Doorway Dolly, the new Round-D-Round model offers all-wheel steering which allows for greater turning flexibility. It's capable of negotiating an extremely tight circle of 6' (1.8 m).
The camera operator is able to mount into six different fixed locations and steering is possible from both ends of the dolly. In addition to being able to mount the seat directly onto the post, the included offset arm can be installed to give the camera operator more choices for seating positions and camera angles. A second seat and offset arm can also be installed, giving you the possibility of having a second person seated on the dolly. This ingenious engineering concept provides virtually unlimited camera and operator positioning as the dolly rolls on track with either Hot Buttons or the Matthews Centipede. Of course, using the dolly directly on the ground with the standard pneumatic rubber tires is another option. Load capacity is over 1100 lb (500 kg) and the platform is carpeted for a non-slip low maintenance surface. This economical yet versatile mobile camera platform is an excellent choice for stage or location

Comments about Matthews Round-D-Round Doorway Dolly:
The price is right on target for such a solidly built dolly. After opening the crate I could tell in one look that this dolly was entirely professional but then that's always what you can expect out of Mathews. At it's price range it's the best in the biz.
The only thing I would change is the seat. In fact I'm going to add a spinning turret with a seat attachment. It will free up leg room for me, but I think for most people the seat will work out just fine.
Bottom line... It's a great dolly!

Comments about Matthews Round-D-Round Doorway Dolly:
I bought this dolly about 18 months ago and have used it constantly since its addition to my production company. It works on every surface with consistent results. With a good operator, you can get world class shots with this piece of equipment.
I own a Steadicam Flyer and IndieDolly and will use this every time over those products.
I really don't know what else to say except that you will get every penny back that you invest into this dolly.
