Looking to piece together a cable cam rig for a DSLR. I've run across a few designs that use a wide variety of materials (pvc, metal, wood, etc.) and was curious if anyone's using one they've made and works really well. I've already got the "zip line" set up so i just need to build the cage. Ideas?

I've built a few with aluminum tube stock for a bar, and a series of L-brackets to make a multi-angle gimble. The best wheels I've used are some cheap wheels from a bmx bike. The bigger gyroscope rolls smoother than a lot of the smaller options.
Just make sure you build a bungee brake.Besides the comet that killed the dinosaurs nothing has destroyed a species faster than entitled white people.-ajp
