The Optical Support Jackal Camera Rickshaw is a specialized, lightweight mobile tracking vehicle engineered to facilitate smooth camera movement over uneven terrain without laying down traditional dolly tracks. Originally designed in the United Kingdom by Optical Support and distributed globally via a key partnership with Inovativ, this system allows a key grip to effortlessly push or pull an operator over dirt paths, fields, or cobblestones. It is heavily utilized by professional film and broadcast crews for tracking shots where budgets, setup time, or physical space constraints limit the deployment of heavier camera machinery. 

The mechanical framework of the Jackal focuses entirely on operator ergonomics and quick field adjustment. It features an integrated, fully adjustable seat alongside dedicated footrests and variable-angle handles to maximize comfort and reduce physical strain during high-speed tracking runs. Built with tool-less assembly pins, the entire chassis can be fully broken down by a single person in a matter of minutes, packing away tightly into a standard, rugged ATA flight storage case. This makes it an incredibly agile tool for nomadic documentary crews, commercial directors, and fast-paced cinematic productions.
