Revolutionary Mobility for Film Production Equipment
Matthews Studio Equipment's Big F'ing Combo Wheels (formerly Rock n' Roller Wheel Sets) are engineered to enhance on-set efficiency by enabling film crews to roll heavy equipment rather than carry it. Developed with direct input from DITs, Steadicam operators, grips, and gaffers, these professional-grade wheels deliver smooth mobility across challenging terrain.
The Big F'ing Wheels feature 3" wide x 8" diameter foam semi-pneumatic tires that maintain consistent performance without going flat. Whether navigating power cables, cable crossovers, gravel, uneven concrete, or soft grass, these wheels provide reliable movement for equipment ranging from camera monitors to 18K lights.
Key Features:
- Universal compatibility with Matthews Combo Stands and any stand with 1" square tube legs
- Tool-free installation with proprietary Spring Steel Sleeve technology
- Face-locking pedal brake with adjustable pad and dual-lock mechanism
- Foam semi-pneumatic tires that won't go flat
- Available in three configurations for different stand sizes
