A section of LED panels built onto a mobile platform for easy repositioning and use as a reflection source and other purposes. Also called roaming panels or roaming walls.

With LED panels and mobile platforms, dolly walls allow for creative possibilities in virtual production that have never been seen before. By allowing producers to move the wall around quickly, filmmakers can capture more dynamic shots than ever before without interrupting their filming. The use of dolly walls gives filmmakers the opportunity to try something unique and show off their creativity with beautiful and inspiring shots.

Dolly walls were first used in film and TV production around the early 2000s. Their use has become increasingly popular since then as filmmakers seek to explore more creative possibilities for their productions.
