Yet another PVC dolly

Yeah, they keep coming and you can't kill 'em...DIY PVC dollies. Here is my version out of 1 1/2" pipe. I built four sets of wheels like the ones shown in pict 1:

Used four Three-Way connectors and cut out a hole for the tripod leg in one:

and in two more I cut out the middle branch (for the same purpose). Sprayed it with black textured paint and it rides smooth on my 1/2" dolly track.

The nice thing about this is that it breaks down into two strips that fit in my light stand bag...very portable.

Not sure what you mean but I needed some washers as spacers between the wheel and the PVC so they didn't touch.
