About the Vinten 3497-3G Dolly EFP Studio

The Vinten 3497-3G Dolly EFP Studio is a heavy-duty, three-wheeled mobile platform engineered to provide smooth and stable movement for large tripods and camera configurations within studio and controlled field production environments. Designed for Electronic Field Production (EFP) and studio applications, this dolly supports the substantial weight of fully equipped broadcast cameras, large telephoto lenses, and accessories, enabling fluid camera repositioning and tracking shots on flat surfaces. Its robust construction and large-diameter wheels ensure quiet, effortless movement across studio floors, making it an essential tool for adding production value through dynamic camera motion in talk shows, newscasts, and studio-based programming.

The dolly's three-wheel triangular configuration offers optimal stability and omnidirectional maneuverability, allowing operators to easily pivot the camera rig or move it in any direction. A central locking mechanism enables the simultaneous engagement of brakes on all three wheels, instantly converting the mobile platform into a solid, stationary base for static shots. The interface is designed to securely connect with the feet or spreader of compatible heavy-duty tripods, preventing any slippage during movement. Built to withstand the rigors of daily studio use and frequent transport, the 3497-3G enhances operational flexibility, allowing production teams to execute complex camera choreography with precision and reliability.
