The Panther S-Type Dolly is one of the most advanced camera dollies available for hire today. Engineered in Germany and trusted on film sets worldwide, the S-Type combines precision mechanics with intuitive operation — giving your dolly grip total control over every move, from sweeping tracking shots to ultra-low super low-mode framings. 

Patented Full-Range Scissors Arm At the heart of the S-Type is its electro-mechanical scissors arm, featuring a patented full-range technology that delivers 100% linear movement — both upward and downward into the negative. This means a high-low rig is never required, saving your crew setup time and eliminating additional equipment costs. The scissors arm is fully detachable for fast, space-saving transport, and the slim profile means the dolly can even be transported upside-down when space is at a premium.

4 Steering Modes for Maximum Flexibility Whether you’re navigating a tight set, executing a sweeping arc, or tracking laterally across a wide studio, the S-Type adapts to your shot. Four precision steering modes — Crab, Round, Front, and Rear — give the dolly grip instant adaptability without stopping the flow of the shoot.

Wireless Bluetooth Handset The S-Type’s waterproof wireless Bluetooth handset is purpose-built for solo operation. The dolly grip can simultaneously control the dolly drive, the scissors arm height, and the steering mode — all from a single device in one hand. The handset is mountable anywhere around the dolly via the included adapter.

Versatile Wheel System Our rental package is available with a choice of wheel configurations to match your shooting surface: studio wheels (hard or soft), studio air wheels for additional vibration dampening, pneumatic wheels for uneven ground, and big transport wheels for driving directly onto Panther precision track without lifting. All wheels connect via a dovetail system for fast, tool-free swaps on set.

Flip-Flop Platforms & High Platform Options The S-Type’s unique flip-flop platform system covers every mounting position — side, front, and full surround — with a single three-part set. An optional height-adjustable high platform is also available for operators who need to shoot from an elevated position, mountable tool-free directly onto the dolly body.

All-Day Battery Life When fully charged, the S-Type’s 24V battery system lasts at least a full day of shooting. The compact charging station can charge up to two batteries simultaneously and is compatible with other Panther “Snap-On” batteries across the Classic, Evo, and Super Panther families.
