Floating trucks
04Smooth moves
Floating trucks give squeak-free moves on a straight or curved track, and the bearings stay silent. Ideal for tracking shots, cinematic slide moves, product videos and interview setups.
Lay it on two apple boxes for a low-mode shot, or on a flat surface with the integrated foot system. You can even invert the track ends to operate off ground level.

They delivered really fast, quality was even better and im about to use it in a Canadian Thriller! Great stuff!
I've been looking for a slider system for a long time that meets professional requirements. Good workmanship, high load capacity and a smooth-running dolly. Whether it's a 75, 100 or 150 camera shell, everything fits. Also the price. That's perfect!
This is a great product backed be amazing customer service.
The Polaris is one of the least expensive options on the market but you can't see any difference with the other more expensive ones in terms of quality. The dolly is insanely smooth and the 40mm rails I've bought in a hardware store perfectly adapt to the track ends. I highly recommend this product !
