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.

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).
