MARBL. Orbit Overhead Camera Dolly Studio Kit

MARBL. Orbit Overhead Camera Dolly Studio Kit

Capture smooth orbiting video by yourself without having to set up dolly tracks or complex rigs. The Orbit camera dolly system from MARBL mounts to your ceiling in under 30 minutes and can hold cameras up to 10lbs. It features a rechargeable precision motor with hundreds of speed settings that allow you to fine tune your Orbiting camera shots. Use the handheld remote or the Wi-Fi based app to run product, interview, time lapse and stop motion modes. An included telescoping downrod can be attached for shots where you need to bring the whole assembly lower for table height videos.  Adjustable arms feature premium Kondor Blue built joints that allow for multiple length arm configurations. The included battery powered light ring mounts to Orbit and provides high quality lighting that won’t be impeded by the moving parts of the rig. Also included with the light ring is a magnetic moon ball that can help you find proper focus to film yourself and a crosshair laser that helps you find perfect center. Get ready to take your interviews, product videos, scenes, and content to the next level with Orbit.
