Ppot brain trust, help building a camera dolly?

I want to build a Motorized camera dolly for doing time lapse. The stage zero Dolly's are very expensive in the 1500 to 3000 range. Forget that I'll just build my own.

I was thinking about using an 8' piece of uni-strut and running all-thread in the channel. I could drive the all-thread with a motor. Then weld a bracket to a nut and attach the camera to that bracket and spin the all-thread for camera motion.

I dunno... What do you guys think?
