Simple and inexpensive camera slider is a great tool for film makers. Here is my DIY version, super simple to make with just 4 3D printed parts! I made a motorized camera slider few years ago but it was made out of old inkjet printer parts and some stuff that I found laying around me. It still works ok, but not as good as I would like to. That's why I designed a new slider. At the beginning I wanted to make a motorized slider but because I didn't like my design (motor box was too big, and also the motor that I wanted to use) I decided to keep things simple and create super simple camera slider so that you can easily replicate it :)
Ball head: goo.gl/CAoR2T
Aluminum profiles: goo.gl/YiK8mf
4 screws M5x20mm
4 screws M6x10mm (link to kit): goo.gl/zuNBrE
Wheels (not the same that I used): goo.gl/mH8wps
If you are looking for a 3D printer: goo.gl/RCGHLx
