Unless floor is completely horizontal, this dolly will glide, unless lock the wheels. Has anyone been able to change the wheels so that there is more grip with the floor and the dolly wheels don't need to be locked each time? If yes, what wheels did you buy? thanks
Asked by: Kit
Not doing tours on a moving boat. As I said it was a large convention centre. Obviously not like a slide! In a bare concrete flooring, there must be places that are slightly uneven, so the dolly wouldn't hold it's position. I have replaced the wheels with ones that hopefully have more friction. It's a hassle locking the wheels when you are constantly on the move.

question

Will E-Image Two Stage Aluminum Tripod fit here?
Asked by: Anonymous
The combination of the DWF-2 and an E-Image tripod is not known by B&H. However, the DWF-2 has a good reputation of working with various manufacturers tripods thus it is our opinion this has the best chance of working since E-Image does not provide a dolly of their own.

will this work with the godox c-stand ?
Asked by: Abdulrahman
When extended, the working footprint of the Magnus DWF-2 Universal Tripod Dolly (B&H# MADWF2) is 31" (79cm). However, the footprint of the Godox C-Stand that we were able to find online is over 37" (95cm). Therefore, that Godox C-Stand would not fit on the Magnus Dolly. Please keep in mind that the Magnus DWF-2 is designed for tripods rather than for light stands such as C-stands.

Would this dolly work with Magnus REX VT-5000 2-Stage Video Tripod with Fluid Head?
Asked by: Zhaoyan
No, the Magnus DFW2 dolly would not be the correct dolly choice for the Magnus REX VT-5000 tripod. We recommend the Magnus REX Dolly for Tripods with Dual-Angle Spiked Feet BH #MADSF132 https://bhpho.to/31f2ILl
