The Super Sport Dolly is a self-erecting folding camera for 120 film, made by Certo in the late 1930s. At least some models have a removable lens and shutter unit, exchangeable with a telephoto lens.
Viewfinder model
The viewfinder model has a folding optical viewfinder on the side and either front-cell focusing or unit focusing. It can make 6x6cm or, by changing the mask in the film chamber, 4.5×6cm exposures. Documneted with the following lens combinations:
- Carl Zeiss Tessar f/2.8 7.5cm [1]
- Meyer Görlitz Trioplan f/2.9 7.5cm [2]

Model C, for plates and rollfilm
The model C can take 4.5×6cm film plates too, via an insert on the back. There is a lever under the lens to adjust the position of the front standard for proper focusing when switching from one medium to the other.
