track system

[Lor]

I'm looking for buying a portable, light weight, and cheap dolly track system. If, however, I can't find any, my plan B is to make it my self.

Any suggestions on the materials, parts, and providers of those parts are appreciated.

Okay, I was looking at the flex track system. Do most DIY users use pressurize hose? If not, what are some materials that people use?

PVC seems to be pretty common. It's also super cheap.

I'm looking into a flex track, but you really need one or two moving arms for it to work well.

What do you mean by "two moving arms"? Are you referring to people?

sorry I should have said articulating arms,

on a normal trypod dolly you have three arms, each of the tripods feet sit on the end of one of the arms, , one of those arms rather than just having swiveling Ved skate board wheels, needs an articulating arm with the Ved wheels, so if can follow the curves of the track without coming off the track. if both trakes are not lined up perfectly.
