    Question

    For the next scenes of my film i will need some good quality tracking shots. I've found some tutorials on the net of how to make a decent, cheap steadyCam with materials from the local hardware store, but has anyone actually made one? If so are they any good? Could anyone who has made one, and it worked well provide a schmatic drawing of them, or links were people have given tutorials on making steady cam? Thanks

    I did the one where you just carry the tripod and that worked quite well...

    You can buy a tracking dolly for ?225, or a steadycam for about ?180.

    That's about as cheap as they get before you start making your own.
