Haha, weird, I build myself the exact same things, just in different ways than you. Still a dolly, 12' jib and a cable rig... Crazy

Wow, really impressive, especially the jib footage.  a lot of homemade jib footage looks terrible, but yours was really smooth.  good stuff.

Very impressed. I made a dolly, but what I really like that I can get very compact. I think I am going to redesign mine.

Yo man, if he turns you down on that then I can show you a way to make one pretty cheap. Actually I was thinking of doing a video on how to make it so then I will have to make one that I could sell you... Just an idea.

Im working on the store right now on my website i hope to have it functunal buy tues or wed. Price for the Dolly with no PCV piping will be 250 + 25 Shipping so $275 total. This is with no PCV pipe you can but that locally and it will cut down on shipping costs. If you want the short 6' sections PM me for a price.
