Cheap curved track?

[patrickj]

Pressurizing the hose would make it much more difficult to keep a curve.

As long as the ends are somewhat secure, it won't change curves...unlike high pressure water, air is much more compressible...therefore has far less straightening motive. My shop airhose doesn't move around much when charged up...it just gets stiff. Being that I have 100 ft of it...I'm going to give it a whirl.

Ive worked wigth the flex track dolly, its nice, but the track is rubber, and its not possible to make the same exact camera movement over and over again.

Bending PVC

Bending PVC

FWIW, I've had luck bending PVC using heated sand. I wasn't making a track, but the same principle applies. As long as you use good forms, it should be pretty reproducible. My buddy and I did a write up on the project on here . It's not too tough, and with the price of PVC, you can afford a lot of practice.

I went to the hardware store and got this red pressure hose is an inch thick, which is the same thickness the of pressure PVC pipe.
I bought 42 feet red pressure hose for $ 53 dollars, you can bought it cheaper in the United States, also bought this U aluminium profile.
