Mick Motor's •Speed Track•

Aloha!
Just dropping in. I've been extremely busy #photographing & shooting #motion video.

With my motion video gear I want a compact kit. The idea has been to carry as little gear as possible while producing professional results.

I've been looking at lots of equipment but nothing seems to fit my wants and my wallet.

I've developed the Mick Motor "speed track" for skater dollies. Highly portable, lightweight, & modular. Pricing & development is coming for 2012 along with pre-orders.

Mahalos!

Motion Cinema

Santa came to Mick Motor early this year. He delivered a swell Canon 7D.
This is pretty exciting considering the advancements in motion stills & cinema. When I was producing TV while shooting a DVX and editing on FCP in 2005 the cinema adapters were just beginning.
I researched and talked to respected people in the industry which led me to the 7D over the 5D mark II. I'm not going to get all technical on ya, I promise.
So, now what? Is it all the gizmos and gadgets that really make or break it?
To be honest it can help. I was going to use a skate board for a dolly. Pfffft.... you can't do that silly. I was going to DIY a skater dolly. After the research, pricing, & labor I figured I'd be in about $60-$70 bucks. Then I looked at Cineskates. I loved it! downside was price and lack of expandable options. I then ran across the Pico Dolly. Base price $69 or so & it's expandable. I found it here http://photographyandcinema.com/

I had heard about the dolly on

So I'm stoked. I plan on also making a slider style track to use on apple boxes or tripod lifts. Making it more than a table top dolly.
I'm all about DIY but these affordable options are hard to beat for solid construction. I also plan on sharing my info and experiences in this amazing HDSLR world.
