In motion picture terminology, the same as a dolly shot or a trucking shot--the camera is mounted on a wheeled platform that is pushed on rails while the picture is being taken. One may dolly in on a stationary subject for emphasis, or dolly out. Or dolly with a moving subject (an action known as "dollying with").

The tracking shot can be combined with other movements. If there is a crane mounted on the dolly, the camera can rise or fall while tracking. The camera can zoom and dolly at the same time. There are cases where an operator carrying a camera is dollied for part of the shot and then smoothly dismounts to continue the movement while walking.
