dolly for £0

I started a thread a while back about cheap sit on dolly options...well I decided to make my own.

This was made with junk lying around my house for absolutely nothing. As you can see it can be useed with either my Glidecam v8 Arm for extra stability or just the tripod. It is pushed and steered from the from the smaller axle at the back and fits through any doorway.

Just thought you might like to have a look =) click on the "origional size" option under the picture for full rez

Andy, I got this message trying to view your pics:

Think you have to change some rights on the server!
