About the
Orbit Dolly
FlexTrac &
Wheel System
The Digital Juice Orbit Dolly FlexTrac is a highly portable,
seamless and flexible track system designed for use with the Digital
Juice Orbit Dolly. The product includes a 50' roll of flexible but solid
rubber cord track (1) plus a set of 3 pivoting wheel trucks which
attach to the Orbit Dolly in place of its regular wheels.
Two of the wheel trucks use a single center swivel to guide the dolly
on one side of the track (2) while the third sits on the opposite track
and utilizes a 3" floating pivot arm (3), giving you the ability to track
around corners and change directions as many times as you want,
while also compensating for any deviation in the track spacing.
The wheel truck hardware is precision CNC-milled from high-grade
6000 series aluminum and finished with a textured powder coat
finish to withstand wear and tear for years to come. The FlexTrac
wheel assemblies are constructed with an advanced pivot system
that incorporates 8 sealed steel ball bearings.
The FlexTrac track can be configured in straight runs or can curve
in any radius or direction. The 50' length of track provided in the kit
can be looped to create a 20'-22' dolly run
(Figure 1), or an optional additional 50'
section can be purchased in order to create
a full 50' track (Figure 2). This durable
rubber track has a 25mm diameter, giving
you maximum flexibility and strength while
still being lightweight for optimal portability.
The flexible rubber material used for the
track retains little or no memory from
being stored in a coiled position and can
therefore be placed in your desired position
straight from the bag.
