DIY mini dolly GHETTOW style

[dory_breaux]

DIY? Verry. Portable? Pretty much. Ghettow? Yuh yuh yuh. Works good? Hell yeah! Cheap? I didnt pay a flopping penny.

aww looks great, as long as it produces smooth footage, the end product never see's the equipment. Is that your son?

 

[dory_breaux]

uhhhhh! Thats my brother, lol.

It's late, so forgive me if I'm missing the obvious, but I don't understand how it works. Does it have wheels? How are they mounted? How are the rails kept at a fixed distance from each other? Pictures showing the underside would be great.

Yeah I second that!

 

[dory_breaux]

Instead of wheels, I used felt. The rails are a rectangle of copper plumbing pipe. Let me get some better pics and some video an I'll post it up.
