Summer 2016 Price list
Floatcam is a pan-european business with dealers across the EU and it’s manufacturing base in Poland and as such the recent post-BREXIT drop in the value of £Sterling has meant we have had to increase our prices accordingly. Hopefully when the exchange rate settles down we will look to reduce our prices accordingly.
DOLLYCRANE HD IN STOCK!!
We do have a DollyCrane HD with flight case in stock for immediate delivery, and can offer this unit at the old price of £5795 + vat & delivery, saving £300 on the new RRP.

New DollyCrane Accessories for 2015!
We’ve introduced some new accessories for your DollyCrane to make it even more flexible and practical.
Low Profile Tilt Plate: For when a fluid head is too tall and you want a fixed camera angle this tilt plate is a great addition to any DollyCrane kit. Fits directly onto the shuttle.
£185 + vat & shipping
Flatbase adaptors for Sachtler, Vinten and O’Connor fluid heads: In order to keep the CG as low as possible you can now add one of these flat base adaptors to your head of choice for use with your DollyCrane. Available for the Sachtler V18 & V20, Vision Vision and O’Connor 1030. Prices from £120 + vat & delivery.
Coming soon: RF Pan/Tilt head: Works as a remote operating head or in conjunction with the Floatcam MoCo system.
Going to IBC this year? Why not come and say hi!
We’ll be at IBC in Amsterdam this year from 12th – 16th September so if you are attending the show, why not drop in to our stand and say hi! We will be exhibiting the whole DollyCrane range along with the optional Motion control systems and a new remote pan/tilt head designed specifically for the DC.
You can now order your DollyCrane SD or SD+ with a new compact length rail!
You can now order the DollyCrane SD and DollyCrane SD+ 16kg in a new shorter 1.6m compact rail length.
The standard 1.85m rail gives a useable tracking length of 1.6m, so any shorter rail will also result in a shorter tracking distance. The 1.60m compact rail will have an effective tracking distance of approximately 1.35m which enables users to get the DC into a smaller space and with an overall smaller ‘footprint’.
Please note: All compact DollyCranes will be built to order so lead times may increase and full payment is required with order.

NEW DOLLYCRANE SD+ 16kg is now available for demo!
The new DollyCrane SD+ 16kg is available NOW for demo in the UK.
We listened to your feedback, spoke to our rental partners and to the engineering geniuses behind the DollyCrane and we are proud to announce the launch of the new DollyCrane SD+! We have a SD+ 16kg (Moy mount) in stock at our Pinewood office for immediate demo and have already secured orders for the new model.
With a higher weight capacity of 16kg and a choice of MOY or 150mm bowl fittings, but still with the same form factor and portable build as the standard DollyCrane SD, it is a perfect fit with small form 2K/4K cameras such as the Sony F5/F55, Canon C300/500, BMCC in a usable ‘cine build’ (accessories, follow focuses, on-board monitors, matte boxes etc).
Combined with our custom* or universal bowl head flat base adaptors, engineered in the UK by Ronford Baker, the new SD+ really is the perfect all round camera platform for independent film production.
And if you have a standard DollyCrane SD, we can also offer a full upgrade service to bring your kit up to the new SD+ spec. Just ask for prices and details.
If you would like any more information, or to arrange your demo please get in touch Trevor@floatcam.co.uk
*Custom head adaptors currently available for the Sachtler Video 20 and O’Connor 1030.
