DIY Doorway Dolly

[BPatterson]

hey guys, so i've searched up and down this forum in search for a good, solid design for a doorway dolly. when i say doorway dolly i don't mean a dolly that runs off of skater wheels on a pvc track.
I'm wondering if anybody out there has built a real doorway dolly and would be willing to share there plans for it.

Thanks
Brad Patterson

Do you want one that runs on tracks or one that has big tyres that just roll on the ground?

one that roles on the ground.

Your really giving yourself a DIY challenge there unless you only ever dolly on a bowling lane.

Even a crack between two tiles will translate to a massive jerk on the camera unless you use damping and suspension and steadicam-like camera support etc etc.
