Pocket Dolly Question
 

I recently got a Pocket Dolly from Kessler and I had a question regarding push ins/outs. I have a 5D Mark II mounted to it and when I attempt to place the camera for pushing in and out type dolly shots, unless I have it angled up really high or set at the maximum zoom (105 mm) you can see the silder in the shot. In other words I need a way to mount the camera at least a foot or more above the slider so it doesn't get it in the frame. Has anyone figured out a solution around this problem?

Hi Dana -
You can use the Flat Mount Adapter and flat mount a fluid head on the Pocket Dolly carriage and then your camera on the fluid head. That should give you the height that you need.

I've got the flat mount adapter and ..

cheap & does the job - I also throw the 701hdv head on for more complex moves
