Buying a dolly. Advice is needed.

[renegadewill]

I was just wondering what you guys thought of the Bogen / Manfrotto 3127 Portable Video Dolly. I already have a Bogen 501 tripod for my dvx so I figured this would be a good addition.

I would like to be able to do some dollying in and out and trucking shots. Is this possible with this dolly? IF not, what would be a good dolly, even possibly a rig or track setup.

help me out,
Will

It's usefull for moving your camera around the studio between shots - but useless for actually making "on-air" moves, even on the smoothest of surfaces it wobbles.
