Here is a simple rig to pull your camera a long side your subject being videoed. The 3/8″ diamond braid poly support string (green) is secured between two objects (trees in this case) and pulled tightly using a “come-a-long.”  We installed two pieces of pull string to maintain a little back-resistance. The camera trolley uses high quality pulleys (these are for mountain climbing), piece of wood and a metal bracket to hold the camera upside down.  The pivots allow the camera to remain plumb even when your rope is on an incline.  We also installed a safety string around the camera and trolley.

Here is a DYI frame to hold a camera (here doing a video) at a consistent height, but must move smoothly over a 5 foot square are.  This project as the making the credits section of a movie.  Credits were positioned in several areas of the desktop (typewriter, pad, newspaper) and the camera moved from one area to the next.  Two cranks mover the camera from one location to the next. We used 1/2″ EMT for the rails, but this could be increased to 3/4″ EMT for a heavier camera.  Pulleys were 1-1/2″ patio door wheels (Home Depot) pressed onto wooden dowels. Project cost less than $50 and can be disassembled for transporting.
