Moving the camera lens up and down on the Y axis without moving the tripod is called what?

• A. Pedestaling
• B. Tilting
• C. Dollying
• D. Trucking

Answer: (B)

Moving the entire camera setup up or down without shifting the tripod is pedestaling. Pedestal movement changes the camera’s height while the tripod remains in one place, lifting or lowering the shot as a whole. Tilting, on the other hand, would rotate the camera to look up or down, changing the angle rather than the position of the camera itself. Dollying and trucking are about moving the camera through space along tracks or on legs—forward/back or left/right. So the action described is pedestaling because it preserves the tripod position and shifts the camera vertically.
