Flexibility and ease of use are at the heart of Rig Wheel's Rail Dolly a multi-function camera slider/dolly. The heart of the rail dolly is the RigWheels RigPlate, which is a superellipse (square with inwardly curved sides) shaped metal plate that features 1/4", 3/8", and 5/16" through holes. The pre-drilled through holes allow you to mount a variety of optional accessories directly to the plate.

question
What is the max weight capacity on this?
I would say 100lbs is a nice safe limit. However, the manufacturer has tested 200 lbs without issue. At that kind of weight, do be cognizant of the support rail strength and mounting.

question
Can I put my tripod on here?
I'm afraid not. This dolly is very compact, it is not wide enough for a tripod. However it does have a 3/8 -16 threaded hole in the center for mounting flat base tripod heads, such as the Manfrotto 502HD (B&H #MAMVH502AH). If you are looking for an option that will work with a tripod you may want to look at the Glide Gear SYL-960 Floor/Track Hybrid Tripod Dolly (B&H #GLSYL960) and their Straight Track option (B&H #GLSYL101).

question
Hi, Please let me know if this kit comes with a rail or should I buy them separately ? In the accessory recommendation,I do not see a rails, giving an impression that it is a package except for the camera. Please clarify.
The RigWheels RailDolly needs only for you to supply round, (1 to 2 / 2.54 to 5.1 cm) square, or rectangular pipe in order to get going. (Plus a tripod head and camera of course.) Please see the following link for how it all goes together. http://bit.ly/1MrapKc

Can you use this dolly for an overhead inverted ...
Can you use this dolly for an overhead inverted shot?
Yes. You can also add some stand-offs to lower the camera further underneath the carriage if there are any clearance issues.

question
Is the Rigwheels better than the Dana dolly? Thanks.
I don't think it's better than the Dana dolly, but it depends on your use. The rig wheels plate is much smaller and doesn't have the Mitchell plate groves or any way to lock the ball adapter in place. If you are just using small cameras than its not a big deal and the rig wheels dolly works great. The rig wheels dolly is great if you are planning to buy some of the other rig wheels products as well because it can be used in many ways.
