$130.00 for that? The wheels and bearings are another $100.00 or so...
Plus the angle iron, nuts, bolts and pipe....
That's roughly a hundred for wood.

Hey John! I missed this, it's soo good! The shot of the couch and the car SCREAM zombie flick!!!!!
(scream pun intended) ;D
Man, If you end a shot like that with a close up of a bloody leg limping right by the lens...man that rocks John!
I might have missed it in another thread, but how much did it cost and are you willing to make another for profit?? ;D
Good job!

Re: DVX and Dolly Extra
Yeah Phil!
Totally! My friend/writing partner did the actual building. It was roughly:
$180.00 for all the parts...
Scott (The dude) will do it for $300.00 over parts and shipping.
It is such a cool tool to have that I'm like "OMG - how could I not have this before"
Check out the first DVX DOLLY thread for addtional footage!

Pookie is right. It's heart breaking to see John and his son living in a garage... Full of boxes... It's not even empty ... On Christmas! :'(

Tracks are the way to go to get the super smooth shot.

[quote author=Mike link=board=Clips;num=1103878480;start=15#24 date=12/24/04 at 22:38:06]This is probably a dumb question coming from someone who never even used a dolly. But why wouldn't the above cart with the fat rubber tires be just as smooth? Also, has anyone here ever used or seen a dolly with tracks like a tank?[/quote]
for 85% of the time the wagon I posted would be perfect for smooth shots. Most $5000 + dollys actually do have tires like that with dips in the middle of them to put on a track. Youll save money by buying this and just throwing on the wheels and brackets as well as leaving the tires on. Plus it looks great IMO

Re: DVX and Dolly Extra
That set-up would work with perfectly even ground (warehouse concrete floor or wood floors for example). Any dips or uneven areas would cause some problems however. With a track set-up you can compensate for this by leveling out the track.

Actually, part of the purpose of tracks it to make multiple takes repeatable.
With a wagon, you're going to wander.

Re: DVX and Dolly Extra
What about the PVC? Did you simply lay each piece on the ground or are they attached in some manner??
Awsome results though I really want to try and build one- - I just finished building the $14 steady cam and it came out ok. Having both would be great!

P.S. That is the link to the steadycam

Re: DVX and Dolly Extra
PVC is merely laying there.
I'm going to get some end caps (nipples?) for the end rails to stop the dolly.

The longest pipe section is 18"
Of course I am 5' 9" and it works just right for me.
