I’m finally buying a dolly for my tripod…
I have a Bogen 3141 Tripod, which is kind of a monster. It’s what is known as a “serious” tripod. When I bought it a few years ago, I ordered a dolly to go with it… except the feet wouldn’t fit in the dolly. I had to ship it back, which was painful, since I’ve always wanted a camera dolly… B&H was pretty good about returns though.
The 3141 has spiked feet, which is great for shooting outdoors… however, indoors it relies on the spreader’s integrated feet. No spreader, no feet.
So now I’m looking at the 3067 dolly and the 3198 dolly. I believe the 3067 dolly is what I ordered last time… however according to the sales person I spoke to at B&H, that is a “universal” dolly and it “should just work”… hmmm….
I think I’ll play it safe and get the 3198 dolly, which has “spiked feet” listed on the entry at Manfrotto, the manufacturer. You’d think they would put some kind of “which tripod goes with with dolly” chart up on their website!
