I bought three of these dollies at Home Depot.  They're about six inches across.




I put one under each leg of the tripod and can move smoothly and quietly around 
a little bit... it's certainly not as mobile as the one you showed... it can't 
walk from room to room following a subject.
I will try to build a stabilizer... thank you very much for the tip.

P.S.: if the photo is not in this email, I'll post it at 
www.essenfeld.com/dolly.jpg in a little while.

  A simple handheld stabilizer is easy to make.

  Google for diy camera stabilizer

  Here's a super simple version.

  Several people have constructed their own
  counter-balanced, articulated arms that work just like
  (or even better than) a genuine Steadi-Cam.
