That was really good.  I think I'm going to build a cable cam for mountain biking this summer.

Very compact, id suggest adding weight to make it smoother, if needed.

when the wheels go over the seperations in the pvc is it noticeable on camera. mine is almost done and this would be a perfect idea to make it compact
