Camera car
Low loader and low dolly trailers
Platforms for shooting inside a moving vehicle without anybody actually driving it.
The low loader lifts the picture vehicle onto a platform and tows it: the actor acts instead of driving, and the camera works from outside with complete freedom. The low dolly does the same at ground level when the shot calls for a low camera height.

Full details
Everything you need to know before you get to the location
Open only what you need: rigging, site requirements, what the service includes, and manufacturer specifications with their source.
Rigging and timingsoperations
30 to 45 minutes to load and strap the picture vehicle. Straps are checked before every move, no exceptions.
Site requirementsbefore confirming
An approved tow vehicle — normally the Dodge Ram 1500 — and a road permit or closure depending on the route and time. We recce the route first: height clearances and tight roundabouts are the usual problem, not the trailer.
What the service includes
Trailer, tow vehicle, driver, grips and camera mounting points on the platform.
When to choose this kit
When the actor has to act instead of drive. It is what makes it possible to shoot dialogue inside a moving car with controlled light and usable production sound, which cannot be achieved any other way.
