So you want to mount a camera on a flatbed and put it on a circle?
If so you might want to make an arm that goes into the center, and put some
weight on it and a single wheel or even one of those boat "glider pads"
round 2*2 under it (as in 6541 and 6542), that should keep it even more
steady, although it would require a nice flat surface, but that would
already be the case for the track anyway.
