In this work we report the radial velocity field of the molecular hydrogen in five planetary nebulae, obtained from scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer observatins at the near-infrared vibrationally excited line H2 S(1) 1-0 at 2.122 μm. Direct images of the nebulae in both transitions of molecular hydrogen S(1) 1-0 and S(1) 2-1 are used in order to discriminate between shocks and fluorescence as the excitation mechanism of the H2. Finally, some physical parameters are derived.
