I made this because I am an amateur videographer on a budget.

I have only used it twice so far but it seems really smooth and has no shaky shots.I used 8 in-line skate wheels w/sealed bearings rather flat skateboard wheels these seem to work better.I need to just get some elbow's and connect the 2 tracks together at each end and paint this sucker and I will be done.

Yo, what are the ABEC ratings on those bearings, mang?

Not sure man they are off a nice set of in-lines from back when my cousin aggressive skated.They are like new he used the skates maybe a month and got a new pair so he give them to me and they were in my closet until this weekend.I actually had a use for them hahahaha.

Everything operates pretty smoothly no problems.Here is a tester vid I made late lastnight to see how it looked.I can not wait to put it to good use!.

I watched a how-to on a budget build for the dolly.I did add a few twist.The vid was just a quicky on auto settings to show the dolly in action.I plan to get w/some locals again and make a few good edit's.So watch out for those.

i used to catch those as a kid and remove their wings. lol

Here is the finished product minus paint etc..

I got some 90° bends and had a little extra pipe left to close in my track.I am satisfied I paid for the bolts,nuts & washer's the rest was a freebie.Better than paying alot for a real one!.

[Tech_Queen]

Cool creation on the camera dolly, 2 weekend's ago a couple people that I was with were trying to make a steady cam holder which didn't take to much thought at all, but + reps for you for creating it all on your own.

Yea some folks look at me stupid when I pull it out and others think it is badA.It took more than a handful of screws and some pvc pipe.It took time and precise measurements def for the wheel portion.It wouldn't sit perfect at first and halfway down the track it would come off.. it works fine now.
