Sevenoak SK-DW02 Camera Dolly

A Sevenoak SK-DW02 Camera Dolly works extremely well as a shooting platform on any kind of surface, however it can often be raised on the top of a track to produce smooth motion on a horizontal axis known as the "dolly shot".

Whenever a dolly grip operates a dolly on a perpendicular axes at the same time, it's known as the compound move. Dolly movements can also be carried out without using a track, offering a lot more mobility on the horizontal plane and with it, an increased level of complexity. These are generally called dance floor moves and can often be performed on the existing surface or with an overlay suitable for dolly movements. The floor overlay normally contains solid plywood for an underside layer and Masonite layer on the top, however the dolly will work on just about any smooth surface available.

The Sevenoak SK-DW02 Camera Dolly has numerous steering mechanisms accessible to the dolly grip. The conventional mode is rear wheel steering, in which the front wheels are maintained fixed, as the wheels nearest the operating handle are used to change direction. A second mode, called round steering, will cause the front wheels to switch in the opposite direction from the rear wheels. This mode enables the dolly to maneuver in smooth circles which is used often if the dolly is on curved track. A third mode, called crab steering, enables the dolly to move around in a path diagonal to the front end of the dolly.
