I went up to home depot to find stuff to build a Dolly and a stabilizer and this is what I came up with. Everything was under $50. I still have to build some better track for the dolly.

I'll definitely try to put together a little edit.

Bp - The handle doesn't take the place or look like glide cam footage. It just gives you a steadier hand held shot. I'll shoot some stuff with it and post it.

Here are some dolly shots. I need to get thicker PVC and mount it to 2x4's to get smoother footage.
