I was on Philip Bloom's blog today and saw a post about this:

Seems the guys and gals over at Kessler have remade their pocket dolly, without any IGUS parts since they seem to stick.

I think when the money warrants it I'll pick one of these up.

Good news! Unfortunately I know all too well that the pocket dolly is smooth but still sticks. That would be awesome if current owners of the pocket dolly could purchase this new system at cost.

So the chop that I am experiencing with mine may not be because I am not using it right? I try to be as slow and consistent as possible but it just seems like spots will drag and then all of a sudden it'll get slick again. I've thought about using some graphite lube on it, but that may be a bad idea.
