This is a quick and simple technique to achieve some effective and porfessional-looking track-dolly-style shots, just using a standard tripod.

The tripod featured in this video is quite a posh one, but this technique will work with virtually any tripod - i've tried it on my cheap £5 tripods and it works well.
