Sometimes a table-top dolly such as the pico-dolly is very useful for video work. In this how-to video, I show how I motorized a standard pico-dolly:

Nice work! Next time I'm feeling inspired I'm going to take a crack at it.
 
Ok, now that you have engineered one, you know how to make it better. Do a redesign, price it out to be built in China, and do your own Kickstarter. You might make more than your video business does.

i think it's great!

Thanks. If someone wants to license the design, I'm on board:)

I'm serious. You have done the hard part, designing a working prototype. Talk to some people on Kickstarter and other sites for inventors and see how you get funding.

You can do it. If I had the money, I too have an idea, but can't make the prototype, without that, I'm nowhere. I might have the money in 2016/17, but today, no.

i wish you luck.
