Our latest development to the Sneaker Mobility System. New Duromax 100a high durometer skate wheels!
The key to a great butt dolly is the wheels.
Most inferior butt dollies use off the shelf casters. The problem is those casters are too soft. When you change direction in the middle of a shot, you'll feel a hitch which results in a bumpy shot.
Simply unacceptable!
To achieve smooth motion and effortless direction changes, butt dolly casters must have precision bearings and high durometer wheels which can only be custom made.
After a few years of R&D we are proud to announce our latest line of high performance SuperGlide 100a durometer casters! These fire-engine red, state of the art skate wheels are custom made to exact specs just for Sneaker Dollies. The wheels are enclosed in a sleek, tough ABS housing to protect all moving parts from the elements. They are easily disassembled for cleaning and maintenance. These Sneaker Dolly wheels are like gliding on ice!

The Sneaker system consists of three robust, 2-inch thick aluminum center posts. Each pipe has 6 inches of adjustability. Between the 18”, 12” and 6” pipes, all height ranges are achievable from 5 inches off the ground to standing eye level. The Post Coupler allows you to quickly combine two posts into one for heights beyond 18 inches.
A variety of seats were tested to find just the right size, support and durability. Through an exclusive partnership with Drum Workshop, we use a dense foam DW drummer’s throne. A seat designed for high-energy musicians who often spend hours in a seated position. The tough leather construction is just the right shape and diameter to allow freedom of motion for your legs, yet provide a supportive seating area. The circle shape was chosen over a rectangle so no time is wasted orienting the dolly every time you sit. Not too firm, not too soft, not too wide, not too narrow, the Sneaker Seat is just right!
An invaluable accessory to the Sneaker system which opens a world of possibilities. Our one of a kind Mitchell Block takes the place of the Sneaker seat, and in seconds the Sneaker transforms into a compact, rolling, adjustable Mitchell platform. With a footprint of only 15 inches, this camera base fits in tight spaces where a tripod, a dolly or a bazooka could never go. Need to adjust for an over the shoulder and can't squeeze a dolly in the room? No problem, throw a head on the Sneaker and you’re good to go. Shooting between the pews at a church? Easy. Roll the Sneaker between the seats. Need a rolling hi-hat? Screw the Mitchell Top Plate to the Sneaker base and you’re all set. And since the Mitchell Block uses the Sneaker’s existing Center Post system, you’ve got all the height ranges you need. No need to run to the grip truck for dolly risers. Which take forever to switch out and only come in 3 and 6-inch increments. The Sneaker Mitchell system is totally self-contained!
