DIY: How to build a Skateboard Camera Dolly

Finished building a doorway skateboard dolly @ 5% the price of the retail version!

Thanks to Domingo who helped me piece it together my doorway dolly is finished! I’ve already used  on two sets and I think I can say this is going to be a  permanent feature on my  shoots!

Here’s a “How To” video with instructions to build  one:

 
Compared to the real deal:

Black Bear Dolly $1400 (R11000)

Mine: $70 (R600 )

If you can’t afford to buy it, build it.

Thanks Domingo and Sakhile for your help with this project.

Canon introduces continuous autofocus in DSLR video recording

Canon has just announced a new DSLR: the T4i/ 650D that features continuous auto focus when recording HD video! Since the launch of the 5D MKII there’s been many models featuring HD video recording and continuous auto focus has always been something missing from these great cameras.
