Capturing a moment -- regardless if it's action-packed or not -- is so much easier when you've got the right equipment to [hold the camera in place](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pro-tripod) and the IFLOW Pro [portable dolly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifting-monopod) is just the kind of tool to help do just that.

Dollies are traditionally heavy, oversized and anything but portable, which is what makes the IFLOW Pro such a fantastic idea. What's more, the device will indeed make capturing the moment easier, but it'll also not restrict you from the kind of equipment you're able to use. This is because the IFLOW Pro is able to hold a standard point-and-shoot, [smartphone and even a DSLR](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snappy-mobile) to really maximize the kind of work or effect you're trying to create.
