Not a bad design at all. The only problem you really have is the wobble of your rail. Use plumbing shims to support and level it, maybe weigh your dolly down a little, and you'll be fine. To the question about how much a pro-grade slider costs... you're looking at five grand. at least. I like Tex's DIY idea.
Thats pretty cool Tex...I have made a rip line for a future video that I am doin... It is just a weighted basket on a steel cable but it works awesome. I should do a tech vid like this and show it.

Good Deal Tex!
I wonder if aluminum C-channel would give those wheels a smooth surface to roll across?
Btw, what would a commercial rail system cost?

It's awesome to see guy make something out of what he has than dream about what he can't afford. Great job Brotha.
