The Vinten V3955-0003 Dolly ENG OB Small is a compact and highly portable wheeled base designed to provide smooth mobility for lightweight camera tripods, commonly used in electronic news gathering (ENG) and outside broadcast (OB) scenarios. This dolly addresses the need for quick, stable movement in dynamic field production environments such as news conferences, sporting events, and location shoots, where camera operators must frequently reposition to follow action or adjust framing. Its small, lightweight form factor allows it to be easily transported in a vehicle and rapidly deployed, transforming a standard tripod into a maneuverable camera platform without the bulk and setup time of larger studio dollies.

The dolly typically features a three-wheel or four-wheel configuration with robust, lockable casters that roll smoothly over flat indoor surfaces like conference room floors or studio concrete. A central locking mechanism allows the operator to instantly secure all wheels, providing a stable, immobile base for static shots.

Designed to interface securely with the feet of compatible Vinten or other professional tripods, the ENG OB Small dolly enhances production flexibility by enabling fluid tracking shots, subtle repositioning, and efficient workflow, all while maintaining the quick setup and tear-down speed essential for fast-paced broadcast journalism and remote production.
