New Dolly!

If you have followed this thing for any time ( does anyone??? )

You will know i have been well in to making some home made filming toys, steady cams,cranes and a few versions of dollys...

I have spent the last few weeks getting parts, the the last few days building the new, portable, compact verision... and im pleased with it...

Old one...



This was big, heavy , a pain in the ass to carry , and only had about 2 foot of movement in it...

New one...




MUCH smaller, easyer to carry, got a tripod head for ease of adjusting angle, made it so it takes the same QR hear as my video tripod for ease of changing mid shoot, its ideal!

All i needed was:

4 pu scooter wheels off ebay - £10

Old tripod head from cheap tripod - £10

and old off cuts of wood from the shed(if bought would be about) -£20

And last a short vid of some stuff in my garden to test it out...
