Teris TSD30S Tripod Dolly

Product Overview

The Teris TSD30S Tripod Dolly is a professional aluminum tripod dolly built for smooth tracking shots with standard broadcast and cinema tripods. Sharing the TSD30's verified 100 kg load capacity and 4.5 kg aluminum construction, the TSD30S is engineered specifically for spreading-leg tripod configurations, making it the correct dolly choice for operators whose tripod system uses a spreader-style leg spread rather than a fixed-angle leg receiver. The locking wheel system converts any stationary tripod into a rolling camera platform in minutes, without track or a dedicated camera dolly system.

Product Description

The TSD30S provides the same core functionality as the TSD30 — converting a professional tripod into a smooth-rolling camera platform — with a construction designed for tripod systems that use a mid-level or ground spreader. The aluminum frame supports loads up to 100 kg, accommodating any combination of professional tripod, fluid head, and camera package. Each wheel includes an individual locking mechanism that locks for static shooting and releases for tracking moves, allowing fast transitions between stationary and moving shots without disturbing the tripod's level. The TSD30S handles smooth studio floors, polished concrete, and even hard outdoor surfaces effectively. Its 4.5 kg weight adds minimally to a field kit, and the frame stores flat for transport. For broadcast studios, conference and event spaces, and any production environment where smooth lateral camera movement is regularly required, the TSD30S provides a cost-effective alternative to a full dolly and track system. It pairs particularly well with Teris TS-series and TSN-series tripods for broadcast and documentary crews that already operate Teris equipment. Wheel diameter and caster quality determine the smoothness of tracking movement, and the TSD30S is built to deliver consistent results on the flat, smooth surfaces typical of professional studio and indoor production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between the TSD30 and TSD30S?
A: Both share the same 100 kg capacity and 4.5 kg weight. The TSD30S is designed for spreading-leg tripod systems that use a spreader, while the TSD30 accommodates standard fixed-angle leg tripods. Contact Creation Networks to confirm which model suits your specific tripod.

Q: What surfaces does the TSD30S work best on?
A: Smooth, even surfaces — studio floors, polished concrete, smooth wood, and hard flat outdoor surfaces. Carpet and rough surfaces restrict wheel movement and reduce shot smoothness.

Q: Can the TSD30S be used with the Teris TS2210CF?
A: Contact Creation Networks to confirm TSD30S compatibility with your specific Teris tripod model and leg configuration.

Q: How do the wheel locks operate?
A: Each wheel has an individual lock. Lock all wheels for a stationary camera position, then release for tracking moves as needed during a shot.

Q: Is the TSD30S suitable for heavy broadcast camera packages?
A: Yes. The 100 kg load capacity covers any realistic broadcast camera and fluid head combination with a large safety margin.

Q: Does the TSD30S require assembly?
A: Setup is tool-free. Tripod legs are placed into the dolly receivers for fast, straightforward deployment.
