How To Build A Gorillapod Based Cineskates-Like Dolly

A few weeks back Kickstarter's Cineskates project funded with almost half a million from backers.

It was only a matter of time till someone came up with a budget friendly solution. Instructables user fungus amungus built a similar contraption using a Hybrid Gorillapod and $35 worth of Rollerblade wheels (for two sets of dollies).

For this project you actually have to drill the Gorillapod unlike the click-based Cineskates system, but saving about a $100 may provide some incentive.

Is there an easy way to get the wheels on and off?

I also created some DIY JobySkates without having to drill using PCV caps, aluminum, and skate wheels.

I really like the use of roller blade wheels though, and may be smoother.
