Either you have to buy or build a set of stable wheels for your 'pod or get an elaborate dolly setup with tracks and so on. Here's a concept by Justin Jensen of 'Cinetics' and his innovative compact version of a wheeled tripod. </p> <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/27895941">CineSkates Camera Sliders</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/cinetics">Cinetics</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/diy-track-dolly#post-55880 Wed, 03 Mar 2010 14:18:12 +0000 Derek Sine 55880@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>A cheap alternative to the other track rigs that cost several hundreds of dollars.</p> <p> </p> <p>The Track &amp; Dolly:</p> <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/8857717" rel="nofollow">http://vimeo.com/8857717</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Sample Footage:</p> <p><a href="http://www.vimeo.com/8803312" rel="nofollow">http://www.vimeo.com/8803312</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/advice-on-buying-a-portable-dolly#post-51158 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 00:22:18 +0000 freefalk 51158@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hey there,</p> <p>I am doing lots of documentary films in africa.....</p> <p>I'm looking for a dolly solution that must be portable, and durable. I have seen a thing called a wally dolly, a digidolly and a fly-dolly. Any coments on what works would be appreciated.</p> <p>thanks</p> <p>Falk</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/camera-add-on-advice-needed#post-49385 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 13:54:34 +0000 TDedmonSBP 49385@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I couldn't think of a better title but hopefully this will suffice. I read Videomaker religiously as one of only two magazines that I never miss a month. The other is HD Video Pro. The stuff I notice in all of the magazines are ads and review guides about all kinds of accessories for cameras. My problem is that this dilutes the market and it makes it very hard to know what are accessories and what are add-ons. Things like mate boxes, add-on batteries, dollies, lights, twelve mics, 87 filters, rail systems, etc. It all just seems so daunting. What accessories are needed and which ones are just supperlative? </p> <p>I currently use a JVC GY-HD110u with a tripod, dolly, extra mic and XLR cable, and a three light kit. Am I missing out on something that would really set me to the next level, or am I still beign held back only by my skill? I don't usually post general noob Q's like this but I just can't figure out who would &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;need&lt;/span&gt; all of that stuff.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dolly-advice#post-45130 Tue, 24 Mar 2009 12:23:52 +0000 jonahr 45130@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>what would be the cheapest quality way to effectively move the camera laterally in a straight line, i see relatively inexpensive dollies at B&amp;H but will these move in a straight line if desired?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/snow-motion#post-35261 Sun, 24 Feb 2008 15:59:04 +0000 disjecta 35261@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Hi all,</p> <p> Here's a short piece I did when it snowed recently in my area. Shot on a Canon XHA1 using the Letus Extreme 35mm adapter and, for the movement, I used an IndiSlider (available from Indifocus.com)</p> <p><a href="http://www.vimeo.com/709560" rel="nofollow">http://www.vimeo.com/709560</a> </p>
