A two-foot dolly riser helps raise the camera position above a compatible dolly platform when the shot requires a higher lens height. It can be useful for elevated seated shots, standing eyelines, over-table compositions and other setups where the dolly's standard camera position is too low.
The riser should be matched to the intended dolly, camera support and total load. Build the system on a stable surface, secure every connection and confirm the complete configuration with the grip and camera departments before operating or moving the dolly.
Build a compact track system with the Dana Dolly, consider the Doorway Dolly for platform moves, or compare the Hollywood Dolly for another production configuration.
What does a dolly riser do?
It raises the camera-support position above the dolly platform to achieve a higher lens height.
Is the riser compatible with every dolly?
No. Confirm the selected dolly, mounting interface, camera support and load when reserving.
Can the dolly be moved with the riser installed?
Movement depends on the complete system and load. The grip and camera teams should verify secure connections, balance and safe operating practice before a move.
