That is interesting Aaron and certainly useful for indoors and limited outside use.
The casters look big-enough for the purpose too

These sorts of caster are available and could be adapted to fit other tripods - I suppose.

But bit concerned about the "pointed thing" from the red-item, as something to catch an arm or body with in the dark ??

Thanks for the post and images...

This would be really useful for those who have paved driveways or patios to roll their scopes in and out of storage. Having locking wheels is a must and I see this dolly has them.

Nice scope! I have the AT72EDII, A smaller sister of this scope.

So James, can you build (or get built) a runway for your scopes to utilise one of that excellent Roller-Coaster Tripods ??

I thought I saw a "pointed thing" from the red-item, a week ago when I replied, but someone's stolen that image. (must have been a secret-weapon)...
