How To Make a DIY Camera Dolly for Cheap

In this video I show how I put together a home made camera dolly, ideal for DSLR video, Parts used are steel bar, skateboard trucks, rollerblade wheels, hockey puck, nuts, bolts and washers.

The heavier duty tripod head I use is the Manfrotto 804RC2, and the smaller one is Joby gorilla pod head.

In this video I demonstrate with a Canon 60D dslr with a 28mm F1.8 lens.

A camera dolly like this can in some cases be a good alternative to a camera slider track.

And now you can build your own rig, hope this helped you come up with a good custom designed dolly that will work for you!
