Anybody selling skater dollies?
Anybody selling skater dollies? I'm looking to buy one. I've seen a lot of DIY skater dollies that perform amazingly and cost VERY little (around 250$). I looked around with google but all I have found was the P+S TECHNIK, which is WAY more expensive. Is there's anybody out there selling DIYs I'm in.

The P+S is the original, and a fantastic product.
But as you point out, it comes with a price. You might consider making your own. I built this one, and it works just fine. |

Thanks, David, but unfortunately I have proven my self many times not to be the DIY type of guy. MY DIY skater would probably end up being nailing my camera to an actual skate. I saw a couple of ebay DIYs selling for like 300$ or 250$ but by that time I did not know what it was fully capable of. I've been seeing some videos and I'm really surprised at how creative you can get with it...and I'm kicking my self for not having bought it so cheap when I had the chance.

Ray,
The price is $695... just curious which browser you were using when you couldn't see the price? May be some sort of compatability issue that I would definitely want to fix... Thanks |

I am on IE7. When i clicked the 'Buy it' link i saw the price in a split second. After that the 'Buy it button' did get straight on top of the price.

I do all of my shipping thru Fedex, so let me get in touch with them and see if I can get an answer as to calculate shipping + any other import costs... Actually, I can't pull an accurate quote without knowing exactly where the Tracker is being shipped... bad news is it will cost considerably more than the 20$ I charge to ship within the continental US... good news is that the EURO is doing quite well against the US$... :-) Feel free to contact me directly if you would like to figure out the actual cost of shipping to your Interational location... thanks Last edited by Warren Herndon; January 26th, 2008 at 11:52 AM.

Got any tips
David, I'm very impressed at the one you made.
How did you get the base, is it milled material or cast from a retail die ?? Any tips you have on making one would be very helpful to say the least . The actual lock screws and wheel hubs etc don't really seem to be a major problem , just the base . Anyway thanks for showing a superb example of what can be achieved. RC |

I have done some more digging into shipping Internationally and it looks as if shipping thru US Postal service is the ticket. It will cost $75 US to send the tracker to Austria... Spain.... or anywhere else in Europe. And the package will arrive in 6-10 business days.

So the whole Omni-Tracker cost me over-all about 470€ I hope this information is helpful for everyone who is interessted in buying this great product. |
