The Raptor Butt Dolly is a brand-new offering from Custom Easy that redefines camera dolly functionality for handheld operators. While traditional “butt dollies” have long been used in the film industry for achieving low-angle, dynamic shots on smooth or semi-smooth surfaces, the Raptor Butt Dolly takes this to the next level. With whisper-quiet operation, it provides unobtrusive, seamless motion, making it an invaluable tool for professional handheld filming.
Design and Flexibility
The Raptor Butt Dolly features a Mitchell Cheese Plate base and six whisper-silent caster wheels, allowing for easy, smooth movement across different surfaces.
It’s also compatible with the Raptor Rickshaw 3, enabling users to remove the seat and utilize the Male Mitchell to Tube connection, with additional seat post and seat back options for flexible setups.

Unique Low-Angle Capabilities
The Raptor Butt Dolly is ideal for capturing creative, low-angle shots, such as “dog POV” perspectives or ultra-close-to-the-ground views. For operators who want even more versatility, the seat can be removed, allowing the camera to operate at the lowest possible height. Alternatively, users can leverage handles from the Raptor Rickshaw 3 or Raptor Rickshaw Mini for increased control and ease of use.
Mid-Angle Adaptability with Mitchell Riser
Achieve a range of angles with the Mitchell Riser option, which allows you to elevate the Raptor Butt Dolly and mount various camera setups, including the C35 Vibration Isolator and a gimbal for smooth movement across multiple angles.
Compatible with Dolly Tracks
The Raptor Butt Dolly is designed to excel on tracks as well. Its Mitchell Cheese Plate supports Raptor Track Wheels, providing stable, smooth motion on a tube track setup with 12″ spacing between rails. Paired with slider end brackets, it offers a reliable and fluid solution for dolly shots across both straight and curved tracks.
Price and Availability
The Raptor Butt Dolly Prices start at $599.00 for the Mitchell-based model, with an option to add a seat for $749.00. Special combo deals are available, allowing you to save when purchasing a complete setup.
