A stealth-like dolly

Kessler Crane, a leading manufacturer of camera cranes, jibs, and motion control products, has introduced the Stealth Camera Dolly.

The new addition was created due to the demand for a tool offering the same smooth, short run dolly shots of the Kessler Pocket Dolly with the added drag control of the Philip Bloom Signature Slider. The result is a device that provides multiple options for smooth motion, endowing the shooter with the ability to achieve the perfect shot every time.

The units are available in the Standard 3' version and the 2' Traveler size, and do not possess the crank handle of either slider.

Says Eric Kessler, owner and CEO of Kessler: "We had a number of requests from customers who said they liked the Bloom, but would prefer it in black. Additionally we had requests to have a slider with the belt drive and drag, but without a crank handle. Just as the Bloom is a hybrid between the Pocket Dolly and CineSlider, the Stealth is a hybrid between the Pocket Dolly and Bloom."

The Stealth is fully compatible with all models of the Kessler elektraDRIVE System, empowering users with consistent motion for various shots, including timelapse.

It is compatible with many of Kessler's accessories (sold separately) including the Outrigger Feet and All-Terrain Outrigger Feet, the Hercules Head and K-Pod tripod system.
