MODD #01 : Happy Feet

Happy Feet will transform your current skater dolly in an "all terrain" vehicle! Ordinary urethane wheels widely used in modern skater dollies work wonders. Well , almost wonders. There is a "small" glitch to the system...

You need a super smooth and level surfice to get that perfect shot. This means you always have to carry an extra surfice like that with you , whether its a wooden or plastic flat surfice your system starts to look rather complicated to use and not really flexible and mobile. 

Of course , if you are shooting under controlled enviroment such as inside a studio or on location but with staged shots where you can go "action - cut" , carrying an extra flat panel with you might not seem like a big deal. But what happens when you shoot "gorilla" style? 

In "run and shoot" situations mobility and flexibilty is a key factor in saving time and money. This is where Happy Feet come into play. With their unique disign they can tranform any ordinary skater dolly into an almost "all terrain" vehicle. They are made out of a foam meterial that successfully absorbs ground vibrations and smoothens out minor anomalies during travelling , something that urethane wheels cannot offer.

Happy Feet can be used on wooden surfices , concrete , carpets inside homes , marble , street pavement

Ideal for "Run n Shoot" situations like:

• Documentaries
• Indie films
• Weddings - Events
• On location shootings 

Special characteristics:

• Smooth & durable foam material
• Ball bearings (skateboard type)
• Shock absorbing
• Water and dust proof
• No need of constant cleaning
• Easy to install (just replace the urethane ones and your done)
• Affordable price
