The Libec DL-10RB is a compact, high-capacity tracking dolly engineered specifically for smooth multi-directional studio tracking. Frequently paired with the P110B pneumatic pedestal column, its structural layout incorporates dedicated cable guards and mechanical alignment pins needed to maintain smooth frames in crowded broadcast studio control rooms.
Core Features & Practical Utility
-
Integrated Multi-Angle Tracking Lock: The rear casters are built with internal indexing track-lock pins. By dropping the pin into place, you freeze the wheel's swivel bearing at 120-degree intervals, restricting the dolly to a locked, straight-line track. This lets a single camera operator execute precision push-in and pull-out tracking dollys along a predefined line without the camera drifting sideways.
-
Detachable Metallic Cable Guards: Steel ring guards encircle the base of each wheel. These shields feature a side-mounted tension knob that lets you adjust their clearance height relative to the ground. When lowered, they act as an active plow that pushes thick multi-core studio video snakes, SDI links, and power lines out of the wheel path rather than letting the dolly roll over them and ruin a moving shot.
-
Oversized 4.9-Inch Caster Base: The rolling array relies on heavy-duty 4.9-inch (125mm) double-bearing casters. The expanded diameter profile bridges surface irregularities like floor tile seams, doorways, and studio tape markers with minimal rolling resistance and minimal acoustic wheel noise.
-
One-Touch Double-Stopper Pedals: Foot-activated step levers are positioned on each caster arm. Stamping the pedal locks down both the horizontal wheel rotation and the vertical swivel axis at the same time, instantly stabilizing the pedestal platform for fast-tilt or pan camera movements.

Operational System Tips for the DL-10RB:
💡 The Universal Foot Adaptor Lock: The DL-10RB features multi-position elastic rubber retention anchors designed to accept the round composite rubber foot pods or bare dual-metal spikes of select Libec, Sachtler, and Vinten broadcast tripods. When securing your legs to the dolly, ensure the rubber loop is pulled all the way over the anchor pulley. This tight mechanical bond ensures the tripod legs cannot flex or pop out of alignment during sudden, high-speed directional changes.
-
Managing Storage Lock Clearances: To fold the dolly down cleanly to its compact 27.6-inch storage profile, you must first pull up on the track lock pins to let the casters swivel freely. Once the wheels align flat with the square aluminum arms, pull the main central hinge pins and lift straight up on the integrated carrying handle—the frame sections will automatically collapse inward together without binding.
