Hey i've been working on building one of these gravity propelled cable cams but keep running into problems. I was wondering what you used for your wheel system, i tryed grooving out a skateboard wheel to fit the cable but that produced a lot of vibration. Also, i was wondering how you balanced your setup to get rid of swinging.

one key thing a a very tight steal cable. We winched ours tight to trees. The other is having enough weight on the rig.

You manualy moved the camera on the cable, right? and how did you get that snow, from the rink?

[RUSKfilm]

One person hits record and releases while another catches and stops at the other end.

The snow is from the local rec center (ice rink).

Hey, I tried making one of these gravity propelled cable cams too by grooving out a skateboard wheel for the cable to sit in but that produced a lot of vibration in the image. Just wondering what type of wheel system you used and how you balanced your camera to get rid of swing and bounce when shooting.
