The beauty of building a quality dolly yourself is that you don&#8217;t have\u00a0waste your\u00a0budget on rental fees \u2014 now, or on future projects. So, let&#8217;s take a look.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZLZOPcbJ7yc?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"what-to-buy\">What to Buy<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-100007 size-full\" title=\"DIY Filmmaking: How to Build Your Own Dolly for $50 \u2014 Parts\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/How-to-Build-H3.jpg\" alt=\"DIY Filmmaking: How to Build Your Own Dolly for $50 \u2014 Parts\" width=\"755\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/How-to-Build-H3.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/How-to-Build-H3.jpg?resize=300,158 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/How-to-Build-H3.jpg?resize=277,146 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/How-to-Build-H3.jpg?resize=359,189 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/How-to-Build-H3.jpg?resize=543,286 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/How-to-Build-H3.jpg?resize=560,294 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/How-to-Build-H3.jpg?resize=150,79 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For this tutorial,\u00a0we went with the most basic build we could to save\u00a0as much money as possible. So, if you want a thicker PVC pipe, smoother wheels, or stronger brackets,\u00a0you can spend a little more money. However,\u00a0even with basic\u00a0components, this build turned out solid.<\/p>\n<p>First,\u00a0you need a 2&#8242; x 2&#8242; board \u2014 just big enough to support\u00a0your tripod.<\/p>\n<p>For the wheels, you can use either rollerblade wheels or skateboard wheels. For this video, we just went to a department store and\u00a0bought a pair of child-sized\u00a0rollerblades. Wheels are wheels.<\/p>\n<p>Next,\u00a0you&#8217;ll\u00a0need 4 &#8220;L&#8221; brackets that have enough holes\u00a0for you to screw through the bracket to attach it to the piece of wood. You might need to drill a hole in the &#8220;L&#8221; bracket toward the top of the corner if your bolt is too thick to fit through the holes.<\/p>\n<p>Finally,\u00a0find the right size nuts and bolts for the wheels you bought. In our case, the right size bolt was 1\/4&#8243;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shopping List:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1\/4 inch hex bolts (8)<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 inch nuts (16)<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 inch washers (8)<\/li>\n<li>2&#8242; x 2&#8242; plywood board<\/li>\n<li>L brackets (4)<\/li>\n<li>Wheels (8)<\/li>\n<li>PVC Pipe (2)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"building-the-dolly\">Building the Dolly<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-100008 size-full\" title=\"DIY Filmmaking: How to Build Your Own Dolly for $50 \u2014 The Build\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Drilling-Bracket.jpg\" alt=\"DIY Filmmaking: How to Build Your Own Dolly for $50 \u2014 The Build\" width=\"755\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Drilling-Bracket.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Drilling-Bracket.jpg?resize=300,147 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Drilling-Bracket.jpg?resize=277,136 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Drilling-Bracket.jpg?resize=359,176 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Drilling-Bracket.jpg?resize=543,266 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Drilling-Bracket.jpg?resize=560,274 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Drilling-Bracket.jpg?resize=150,74 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>First things first:\u00a0you want the brackets equal distance from their respective corners. I measured them to hit 2 inches by 1 inch away from the corner. Then you&#8217;ll want to drill a hole in the bracket about an inch away from the corner. Once you&#8217;ve done this, you can slide the bolt up through the hole then place the washer down onto the bracket. Then slide a nut down and tighten the bolt to the bracket. Now you&#8217;re ready to screw the bracket into the wood. Once you&#8217;ve got the bracket tight and secure, you can slide the wheel down the bolt, then tighten it up with another nut. (If that sounds complicated, refer back to the video. It&#8217;s not that difficult.)<\/p>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve done this, you&#8217;re pretty much on autopilot. Finish the other three brackets and you&#8217;re good to go. Throw the dolly on the tracks, place your tripod accordingly, and\u00a0watch your production value climb.<\/p>\n<p>Fun fact: If the PVC pipe you bought isn&#8217;t long enough, you can buy a smaller PVC pipe, and connect the two bigger pipes with the smaller one\u00a0to bridge the gap.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Looking for more filmmaking tutorials?
