Looks really great! Will you be offering track extensions/add-ons? I can see using 3 or 4 tripods to get a 16 to 18 foot dolly move. Is that going to be possible? Drop me a note.
20 lbs or 150 lbs? or are there two kinds of hercules heads and why does the Backbone unit handle 50 lbs but the Hercules 150lbs, I don't quite understand.
Glad you like it, Philip. The Hercules 2.0 is our tripod head. The Hercules was design to be able to support 150 lbs, for use with fully loaded cranes / jibs, as well as cameras, using our optional QR plate.
The Pocket Dolly™ mounts flush to the Hercules head, without a QR plate, so there is more surface area, which provides more support.

Pocket Dolly = 20 lbs capacity
Pocket Dolly w/ Backbone = 40 lbs capacity
The Backbone goes on the Pocket Dolly to make it stronger.
The Hercules 2.0 head supports 150 lbs.

Weight limit? I'm guessing the Red might be a little too much?

20 lbs if mounted flush to our Hercules head. We will have a Backbone Upgrade coming soon that will beef the weight capacity up to 40 - 50 lbs.
We should have some Red footage coming in the near future. Thanks
