Manfrotto 181B Folding Auto Dolly with Brakes, 25kg Load, Aluminium

Unlike standard tripod dollies that stay bulky and fixed, the Manfrotto 181B folds flat in seconds—yet rolls with studio-grade smoothness thanks to ball-bearing swivel wheels and full brakes. It turns any tripod into a mobile camera platform without adding a heavy, awkward cart to your kit.

Highlights

• Supports tripods and light stands up to 25 kg
• Folds to just 55 cm for easy transport and storage
• Three 80 mm rubber wheels with ball bearings and individual brakes
• Universal leg clamps fit leg diameters from 19 mm to 55 mm
• Durable black aluminium construction

In daily use

Set up in the studio or on location: unfold the dolly, place your tripod legs into the clamps, and lock them with the single-action levers. The 80 cm working diameter gives a stable footprint, while the swivel wheels let you reposition smoothly across flat floors. When you need to hold a shot, engage the brakes on all three wheels to keep the rig perfectly still. The folding design means it slips into a gear bag or case alongside your tripod, ready for the next shoot.
