Abstract
A support for a camera dolly comprising spaced-apart first and second rails comprised of longitudinal rail members. The first rail has a first seam between its rail members, and the second rail has a second seam between its rail members. The first seam in the first rail is directly opposed from a corresponding second seam in the second rail. The first and second seams have first and second leading edges formed at crowns on the first and second rails, and the leading edge of the first seam is offset longitudinally with respect to the leading edge of the corresponding second seam.

A support for a camera dolly, the support comprising:
- parallel, spaced-apart, opposed first and second rails extending along first and second longitudinal axes, respectively;
- first and second rolling surfaces extending along the first and second rails, respectively, for supporting the camera dolly;
- a first seam extending transversely across the first rolling surface and defining a first plane aligned obliquely with respect to the first longitudinal axis;
- and
- a second seam extending transversely across the second rolling surface and defining a second plane aligned obliquely with respect to the second longitudinal axis.
A support for a camera dolly, the support comprising:
- spaced-apart first and second rails each comprised of longitudinal rail members;
- the first rail has a first seam between the rail members of the first rail;
- the first seam in the first rail is directly opposed from a second seam in the between the rail members of the second rail, the first seam thereby corresponding longitudinally to the second seam;
- the first and second seams have first and second leading edges, respectively, and first and second trailing edges, respectively;
- and
- the first leading edge is offset from the second leading edge, and the first trailing edge is offset from the second trailing edge.
