We took the SpiderTrax to a closed flour mill in Northern California for a music video shoot. We used the Canon 5D MKII for behind the scenes stills and video.

We placed the SpiderTrax dolly on two 10' Unistrut rails that we supported by 2 sawhorses. For this length we would recommend going with 3 sawhorses. We also used the rails on a rough surface to provide a bump free shot. The rails and sawhorses were picked up at our local Home Depot.

www.danielleedaniel.com put together a nice video with behind the scenes use of the SpiderTrax along with the great results.

This is an AMAZING tool for any DSLR videographer to have. With some patience and hard work you can pull off some really long tracking shots. In this one we set up a track for Lightface that ended up being 15-20 feet!!

Look for more Spider Trax Dolly shots in Lightface Episode II and all future episodes as well :)

We took the Palo Alto to Mono Lake in Eastern California to provide real world footage. We used the Canon 5D MKII for stills and the Canon SX210-IS for video.

Even though the location is remote, we had several conversations with people interested in the product

We took the Palo Alto to Bodie in Eastern California to provide real world footage. We used the Canon 5D MKII for stills.

Bodie is a state park that houses a old mining town that is frozen in time.

The Spider Trax Dolly is in production and we were able to snag one before it went out for anodizing. We rattle-can spray painted it and shot a few teasers for the blog, check out the results:
