The following are some examples of actual Porta-dolly use in interesting or unusual shooting situations by Countryman-Klang camera crews: In-plant Shooting: The problem was to film a plant assembly line in action, employing both long shots and closeups. The assembly lines were situated in pairs, with a narrow aisle between each pair and just barely enough room to erect a tripod. But with a tripod, the camera would still have been in a restricted position in relation to the subject. By running the Porta-dolly between two lines, with the boom elevated directly over the first line and shooting the second, it was possible to get all necessary shots with a single camera set-up. Small Products Shooting: In shoot¬ ing footage of the use and features of a reel-type lawnmower in a natural outdoor setting, it was necessary to go from a high, over-all camera angle to a low detail shot. This was done with¬ out moving the Porta-dolly position simply by swinging the boom and lowering it.
