A new camera dolly design has arrived on Kickstarter this week thanks to designer Paul Jackson, in the form of the ZipShooter camera dolly, that has been created to carry both DSLR cameras and smartphones.
The design of the ZipShooter allows it to serve as a linear dolly, a curved dolly, or an under-sling dolly. As well as being able to convert into a range of shoulder support rigs if required. Watch the video after the jump to see it in action.
Versatility and Functionality
The ZipShooter can support DSLR cameras up to 20lbs in weight and can easily be collapsed to fit into a camera bag for transportation. This makes it an ideal tool for photographers and videographers who are always on the move and need equipment that is both portable and reliable. The ability to transform into different types of dollies and shoulder rigs means that users can achieve a wide variety of shots without needing multiple pieces of equipment.
“Each and every ZipShooter will be manufactured and hand assembled right here in Western North Carolina for the utmost in precision and quality. The final shipping product may differ slightly from the prototype photos and video here as improvements are always in the works. The ZipShooter™ will be delivered assembled and ready to use. Comes with the ball-head as shown.”
Quality and Craftsmanship
One of the standout features of the ZipShooter is its commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Each unit is hand-assembled in Western North Carolina, ensuring that every detail is meticulously attended to. This level of care in manufacturing not only guarantees a high-quality product but also supports local craftsmanship and industry. The ball-head included with the ZipShooter adds an extra layer of functionality, allowing for smooth and precise camera movements.
The ZipShooter dolly is currently over on the Kickstarter website looking to raise enough pledges to make the jump from concept to production. So if you think it is something you could use, jump over to the Kickstarter website now to make a pledge and help ZipShooter become a reality.

The Kickstarter campaign for the ZipShooter is not just about raising funds; it’s about building a community of supporters who believe in the product and its potential. By backing the project, supporters are not only helping to bring a new and innovative tool to market but also becoming part of a community that values quality, innovation, and local craftsmanship. The feedback from backers can also play a crucial role in the final design and functionality of the product, ensuring that it meets the needs and expectations of its users.
