Description
I love taking timelaps captures for video.
Using a tripod is ok, but not creative enough.
The camera is standing still, but I want it to MOVE.
But that is easier said than done.
THIS IS JUST FOR THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED
Made a dolly with tracks.....
and the trick is the third track in the middle.
Made by an old vacumcleaner hose. It has some nice notches.
Added a vertical plate to the dolly and placed it into a notch.
The result is that I can push the dolly forward and take a frame. Than I have to repeat that 250 times to make 10 sec of video.
Did this make any sence????
Hope the result is worth the boring work,
correction, not boring, I just love it.
............Better view in zoom mode........

Superb work !!
Great idea Wonderful captures
Yikes You will have to live in the garden to do that LOL ! The sound of the click on the hose it countable, yes? so you can know exactly how far to go. YEAH YEAH, I am just guessing. Excellent way you placed the wheels on the pipes.
nice
Great Idea, what did you make the wheels from?
Very clever mate.
Yes, this makes lots of sense. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas!
Thanks for this little piece of technology. I could use something like this for panoramic shots of old stone walls.
