The Vinten 3497-3C Dolly HDT Studio is a heavy-duty, three-wheeled camera dolly system engineered for the smooth and precise movement of large studio pedestals and camera configurations in broadcast and production studio environments. Its robust construction is designed to support the significant weight of a fully equipped studio camera, a professional fluid head, teleprompter, and associated electronics, allowing camera operators to execute fluid tracking shots, intricate repositioning, and complex choreography on the studio floor. The dolly integrates seamlessly with compatible Vinten studio pedestals, creating a mobile camera platform that combines the stability and fine height adjustment of the pedestal with the mobility of a wheeled base.

The unit features a unique three-wheel design with large-diameter, soft-tread casters that provide a stable tripod-like footprint while enabling effortless movement in any direction, including tight rotations. A central locking mechanism allows the operator to quickly engage brakes on all three wheels simultaneously, securing the entire camera rig firmly in place when a static shot is required. Engineered for both performance and operator ergonomics, the HDT Studio dolly is built from high-grade materials to withstand daily professional use, offering broadcast crews a reliable and essential tool for adding dynamic movement and production value to live broadcasts, talk shows, and studio recordings.
