So you guys know I like to make videos at the meets. Now I've gone and made a rolling tripod. Inspired by a video Arthur showed me, I wanted to acheive a smooth pan effect on cars as they passed me. So I got some wood, some strong adhesive to push it together with and some cheap caster wheels and wala!!:

I've yet to mount a camera mount on it but here's a video of it so far with me and my dad balancing a regular tripod on top of it:

Sorry it's on Photobucket but only my proper videos make it to the youtube.
I look forward to shooting some track action next month!!
Let me know what you think!
EDIT:
The camera work isn't so great - it takes some getting used to and a device like this is best used at a longer range. So actual footage I take from meets will be a lot better. I promise! ;)
