Libec Dolly for heavy duty tripods and P110B for outside broadcast use

The Libec DL-8RB is the high-capacity tracking dolly specifically configured as the foundation of the P110B Pneumatic Pedestal System and designed for Outside Broadcast (OB) productions. Engineered to navigate rough terrain on remote locations, sports fields, and studio lots, this system safely supports massive, specialized live camera packages.

Core Features & Practical Utility

• High-Diameter OB Casters: Unlike standard studio dollies that utilize small wheels, the DL-8RB is built with oversized 4.9-inch (125mm) casters. This additional clearance lets the dolly glide smoothly across outdoor signal cable drops, uneven pavement joins, and rough turf without snagging or tilting the camera rig.

• Double Stopper One-Touch Braking: The wheel tracking system features a dual-action foot pedal on each leg. Pressing the pedal down engages a double bearing lock that freezes both the wheel's rotation and its physical steering swivel simultaneously, transforming the rolling platform into a rock-solid, vibration-free platform.

• Integrated Adjustable Cable Guards: Steel ring guards encircle the base of each caster wheel. These blocks can be raised or lowered relative to the ground to push thick multi-core camera lines, power snakes, and fiber lines out of the wheel path, preventing the dolly from rolling over cables and ruining a moving shot.

• Heavy-Duty Universal Spike Sockets: The receiving cups at the end of each aluminum arm are custom-machined to clamp onto the large dual metal ground spikes of the P110B pedestal column, as well as Libec's heavy-duty T102RB, T103B, and T150B heavy broadcast tripod leg lines.

Operational System Tips for the DL-8RB with P110B:

💡 The Track Lock Straight-Line Pull: When executing long tracking shots across an outdoor broadcast compound, you can isolate the steering direction. Align the casters completely straight along the direction of your movement and activate the integrated track alignment pins on the rear wheels. This locks the wheels into a 120-degree straight path, letting you push the entire pedestal column forward and backward like a train on a track without the dolly drifting sideways mid-take.

• Managing Mud and Grit Clearance: After completing an outdoor broadcast wrap on turf or asphalt, back off the cable guard adjustment knobs and clear away grass clippings or dried mud trapped inside the shield frame. Keeping this gap free of debris ensures the guards won't scrape across studio floors during your next indoor production.
