A kid in my video journalism class just presented his PVC table dolley. Great video! This is great for college students who can't afford expensive equipment.
-
when you drag that dolley, you you put a rubber band at the end of the string when you pull it. that way you pull the rubber band to get more stabilization...

I call it the "scolley"!! (Scott & Dolley)

Can I use the same method of attaching the camera to the dolly as in the video of the camera stabilizer?

Do you think I could make this for a DSLR if I used bigger PVC pipes?

@AgentDuckMan You really don't have to. Many people have told me this design works with DSLR cameras.

@talleat Lock washers on the inside of the PVC plug. I thought I put up an annotation about this but I'll check.
