(...) Yeah, I had to use a turntable with a rotation sensor to get some control over my extractor. I don't mean to brag, but my extractor has a 16" reach. Well, okay, I'm bragging :-) (21 years ago, 30-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Proper camera track is steel or aluminum, that's because the dolly is like a billion pounds to begin with, and once you've got the camera rig, DP/cameraman, videotap and preview monitor etc on it, like, two billion pounds. Calum (21 years ago, 29-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
