Using the parts of a cassette player, a 9v battery and some scrap metal pieces I think I can build a working cable dolly for a lightweight vid camera.
Here Lewis is with me demoing this thing.
The motor is listed as 9V, awfully convenient to invite a 9V battery to drive it.
Next step is to make the runner longer to stabilize yaw. Then some gyros to stabilize pitch.
