Want smoother camera moves without buying an expensive motorised slider? In this project I’ll show you how I designed and built a 3D printable robotic camera slider with touchscreen control, adjustable track length and support-free printed parts.
This video is sponsored by PCBway. ? More info below ?
It’s designed for live video work, product shots and motion timelapses, with programmable speed, acceleration and movement time. You can build it for tabletop use, tripod mounting, mains power, or with an optional Ryobi battery adaptor for portable filming.
