Furniture Sliders as a Camera Dolly!

Hey guys!

Check out my little idea for a dolly system. I used furniture sliders to move my tripod around which makes a really good dolly shot. Depending on what kind of sliders you buy, you might even achieve this effect on hardwood/ceramic kind of floors. It's cheap, easy to transport and most importantly, effective.

To add extra stability, just add on some weights on the tripod. Also, remember that practice makes perfect!

Note: I didn't use weights on this test so some shots may look a little bit shaky. :)

Tell me what you think!
 
That would work for some b-roll shots, but I'd imagine that the sliders would make too much noise when shooting with sync sound?
