I built the same thing after I saw this video. It came together pretty easy and it works great. Put a ball head mount on the top of it so you can level your camera and your all set to slide both horizontal and diagonal.

I think J.G.'s design is better than the Hague who uses a HUGE ladder: not really practical to move around from shoot to shoot.

I might give it a try: I've been wanting a slider for way too long now.

Thanks for the DIY !

Oddly enough, the entire concept of "Ladder Dolly" never even entered my rudimentary, reptilian brain. It's like I looked at a panther and a housecat and said "Those two things are completely different and not related at all and one doesn't even remind me of the other in the least." I mean, I'v used ladder dollies. Had I remembered that, I'd have probably looked back at some design elements. For God's sake, I even USED A TINY LADDER as part of the build at one point. Getting old sucks. Glad everyone liked it. jg

That's great, reminds me of the IKEA dolly that I've been wanting to try out!

I built a ladder dolly after watching that last video you have posted:

It actually works really well, but its alot to move around on set. Ladder, dolly, tri-pod, giant cement weight... it gets old fast.
