Dock n Roll docking bracket accessory for securing and rotating Steadicam rigs on Jerry Hill brackets

13 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • The Dock n Roll is an add-on accessory that mounts onto Jerry Hill docking brackets and allows the Steadicam rig to be tilted and rotated while remaining locked to a docking stand, useful for maintaining specific framings during lighting setups or multi-camera coordination.
  • The device uses Teflon bearings which assist in quickly assessing rig balance during assembly, particularly beneficial for complex beam-splitter three-dimensional camera rigs with multiple cameras.
  • Installation requires only 1/8 inch and 1/4 inch Allen wrenches and reuses the original mounting screws, with assembly taking approximately 90 seconds to 10 minutes.
  • The accessory is compatible with Jerry Hill docking brackets sold by both Jerry Hill and Tiffen.
  • Users report the device eliminates the need to switch to a tripod for static shots or remove the rig from the stand when framing adjustments are needed during location work.

Depends on

  • The device adds only 0.5 inches or less in total length when attached.
  • Some users noted the lock-down mechanism tightness may need adjustment to prevent unwanted slippage during use.
  • The price of 350 Euros plus shipping was noted as high for users in non-European currencies.
