Kessler Pocket Dolly™ Released
For those of you that have been following the development of the Pocket Dolly™ (aka Krank), I wanted to let you know it is know available on our website. It weighs in at approximately 6.5 pounds, 38" long, with 35" of travel. Recommended max weight capacity, if mounted flush to our Hercules 2.0 head on the K-Pod™ is 20 pounds, with no additional supports required.
We will be releasing a backbone upgrade soon, that will allow for an even heavier payload, without the need for additional supports. Check out the Pocket Dolly™ page on our website for more information and photos. More video will be coming soon. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks! Chris |

I've browsed through all IGUS products and they don't manufacture top-cranked side-belt driven sliding tables. This is as close as you get igus DryLin® ZLW - Toothed belt axis

as u wish!
but is fact that the slider is IGUS. I have one and I plan to make powered motion for better smooth motion. It will be better motion and much more cheaper. of course if u dont like DIY system buy one... or two |

The rail and Drylin® guides are the only Igus parts in the Pocket Dolly™. That's not a secret, Zaza even mentions our product in his thread, and that we were using some Igus parts in our design. Thanks.

We've posted a better promo video for the Pocket Dolly™ on our YouTube page. We should have more footage coming in the next few weeks.

my pocket dolly showed up last week, and it is fantastic. I've shot a few quick scenes on my red and it is smooth as silk. Much better than the indieslider.
I'd also like to say how wonderful the hercules 2.0 head is..... handles a fully kit'd red perfectly. Great job kessler!

Kessler has value added in the design and it is up to the buyer to decide. Why post unnecessary remarks here? There are 2 other mfg using the same parts and all of them value add in a way and people still buy them.
I owned a kessler crane previously n I have to say its value for $ for the price point. Keep up the good work Kessler! |

Hi,
Where can I demo the PocketDolly in the Los Angeles area? I'm interested in it for an upcoming project and would like to try before we buy. Any dealers? Owner/operators that can lend us an hour? Thanks,
