Not sure, but I saw a youtube of a kid who build a decent dolly for like $30 from Home Depot. Worked pretty well, used PVC piping, a 4x4 sheet of plywood, and bungee cords to hold the tripod down. I can't seem to find the one I saw right now, but there's a few of them on there.

I gues it was the trick where you shorten one leg of your tripod and use the other two legs as a pivot point to move the camera back and forth while holding the pan handle. That way you create a kind of gliding shot towards your subject. It works good but the one thing to keep in mind is that the camera doesn't stay level that way but makes a curve (down-up-down).

I've seen one before and thought it was brilliant as an idea.

Something like this one.
