Chapman is proud to announce that new quick release, floating track wheels will soon be available for the Hustler Dolly.  These wheels will incorporate both pneumatic and solid tires, using an innovative kingpin system.   This system allows the wheels to move in and out to stay even on slightly out of line track.   Additionally, the new Hustler wheels are quick release, making wheel changes a simple process.  The new wheels will allow the dolly to roll smoothly on both straight or curved tracks with a diameter of 14' or greater.  "We are producing these new quick-release floating Hustler track wheels as fast as we can and plan on adapting them to all of our Hustler Dollies," Marketing Director, Christine Huenergardt, explains.   For more information on Chapman's Hustler track wheels, please contact Steve Miller at (818) 764-6726. ABOVE: Faster Boards are now available on Hybrid & Hybrid II dollies. Chapman is also proud to announce that new Foster Boards are available with its Hybrid and Hybrid II Dollies.  These side boards, named after Best Boy Grip, Mike Foster, provide operators, using the arm in high mode, an even standing platform to walk on, at the chassis level, all the way around the dolly.  Each set contains two boards, one for each side, six short pins, and two long pins, which are used to connect the boards to the body of the dolly.  The level surface allows camera operators a higher center of gravity and easy movement around the dolly.  Foster boards are four feet in length, easy to assemble, and make movement on the dolly, while tracking, easier.   For more information on this new accessory, please call a Chapman representative at (818) 764-6726. Chapman is proud to introduce its Sport ATB, a sports crane, that will revolutionize sideline coverage. Equipped with a remote actuator to control the arm independently from the camera platform or crane operator seat, the Sport ATB is electric powered for smooth, silent operation.  The Sport ATB's design makes it equally effective when used with film (hand-operated) or TV (foot-operated) turrets and is capable of booming up to 12 vertical feet.  Smooth or knobby balloon tires and solid track tires are available with the Sport ATB, which uses a safety chain system that allows for quick mounting or dismounting.  Its built-in charging system operates on either 110 or 220 volts and the new 48-volt system will give surprising performance and acceleration along sport sidelines.  The Sport ATB comes complete with a 48" platform, sideboards, monitor platform, and padding.   Aluminum track is available upon request.  For further information or demonstration, please contact David Dreben at (818) 764-6726.
