The Matthews Centipede II is a camera support dolly offering stable camera movement on curved tracks in television, video, and film production. It includes two 34" long main carriages, each featuring two split-carriage assemblies. Two separate four-wheeled carriages reside in each assembly and enable enhanced pivoting. By pairing the split-carriage design with increased wheel hardness, this camera support dolly delivers smooth tracking and improved contact reliability. Constructed of aluminum and steel, the Centipede II is both lightweight and heavy-duty. For simplified transport, it can be housed in the Centipede II case (available separately).

Q: 3. Can an additional seat be added for focus puller?

A: Having used other versions of this dolly, our opinion is it is too small for two people and a camera.
