Hey guys I posted this in another thread, but has anyone else ever tried using a cheapo yellow wagon, and adding some weights to it to get some cool dolly shots?

Ive been playing around with this for a while and I have some pretty cool shots coming from it. The picture isnt my setup its just the place to buy the wagon.

Just another option vs. dropping 2,000 on something like this:

Let me know your thoughts,

Crazy glue that handle upright (or drill a hole and add a screw).

I have one of those for hauling gear, but I've found it useless for smooth shots unless you're on a completely flat, smooth surface. You may be able to fit it with some smaller wheels possibly, which may help.

Yeah, it pretty much has to be on a fully smooth surface to work as a dolly.
