With the new multi-functional MAGNUM turnstile, you can work much more flexible and creative than ever before. You can attach a wide variety of accessories such as the system low boom mount, the assistant’s seat mount, the 4-way leveler, etc. to different positions.

With the new MAGNUM turnstile, you can easily remove the Euro spigot and mount various accessories directly on the column. Thus you save the so valuable centimeters.

The use of high-strength alloys has made the new turnstile significantly more stable. In addition, the thickness of the material has increased visibly, which minimizes deflection, even under maximum load.

Significantly more degrees of freedom of the seat positions increase the ergonomics of the Dolly by a multiple. You can now easily adjust the height of the seat and the distance to the center of rotation of the Dolly.

When you close the brake, the turnstile stops !!! The new turnstile no longer has only a friction brake, but it locks in position thanks to a solid stainless steel sprocket.

The new turnstile allows for countless possibilities to work creatively with your MAGNUM DOLLY. For example, the ultra-stable seat arm extension can be used as a mini low rig if time does not permit a complete setup.
