Adding dolly movement to a film or video can really enhance your project. Let’s take a look at some dolly options that come in under $500.<\/h2>\n

When you need\u00a0movement in your work, a dolly system<\/strong> is a great asset to have in order to get those smooth motions. The only problem is most dolly systems<\/strong> can be extremely expensive. Let’s take a look at four options that won\u2019t break the bank.<\/p>\n

1. DIY Tripod Dolly Shot<\/h3>\n

This method is for those who just don\u2019t have the money to spend on any<\/em> dolly system<\/strong>, but need to capture a quality dolly shot. The process is pretty simple and can be accomplished with a standard tripod. In the video below, Film Riot’s Ryan Connolly<\/a>\u00a0shows us\u00a0how to mount our camera to the tripod and reduce the length of one of the legs, allowing the\u00a0other two legs to work as pivots while keeping the tilt of the camera straight. If you\u2019re in a pinch with little to no money, this will get the job done.<\/p>\n
