this would work if there was enough material. if you go too far the universal ball joint might not be able to go down full and then it wouldnt work. you might be able to add a few washers to create a tighter seal.

A rather inexpensive slider unit can come from your very own house... of course depending on whether or not you have a garage with a motorized garage door opener. I saved and salvaged my old garage door opener screw drive unit with the shuttle attachment. I modified the attachment and put a smaller, much quieter motor on it. I did have to modify the clutch for the screw drive, but it works perfectly, albeit a tad noisy. But, I can take this unit and do parallel pans and sweeps and add vertical motions when standing it on end. I am figuring a way to ad it to my lighting tripod base so that I can raise and lower the track to higher or lower planes when doing up and down motions... It's still a bit rough, but shows a lot of promise. The slider works very well and very smoothly because of the machined screw drive and the garage door shuttle. Thanks for sharing your build.

Daves Workshop would you tell us your idea?

nobody asked you for your opinion! (just kidding)

Just one of my unmarketable skills to annoy you with.

Attach the slanted slider attached to the tripod so it does not move. The ends of the removable part are attached to two small bottles of water. the bottom bottle carries a hole in the bottom and ends up rising due to the weight of the full bottle. The camera attached to the slider moves in the direction of the descending bottle

astigmatik yeah. The screw on the ball joint is 1/4", and that is both the standard size for just about any camera you can get as well as what they use on that GoPro adapter.

i think they just played the take backwards which made the down movement seem like it was moving up

Sebastian Hoch so you cannot shot even a man walking, 'cos he will be walking backwords:)

Tomasz Lewandowski Lol! Get him to walk backwards.

That's what the Bolt Coupler was for - it's a handle so you can pull it upwards (steadily, of course!)

Reverse efrect

you could use a PTFE spray on the tracks to lubricate it, or some graphite powder

1.color correction 2.highest resolution possible. 3.probably slowing down the movement then speeding up the footage in post. probably one of those.

+Marcio Sargento Hi, my POV in this DIY Slider, I think it would be too heavy

in italia basta andare in un qualsiasi negozio di bricolage tipo leroy merlin o ikea o brico o obi..vedi tu;)

he just used the trip od angle one side really low and the other higher. I would pull on it or let it slide down by itself then reverse the footage.

change the angle and gravity does the rest

I was pretty weirded out when he called them bolts. Thank you for reaffirming my sanity.

bolts screw in to nuts, screws have sharp ends and don't attach to nuts.

Nope, they're bolts.

Yup they sure are...

I think they're technically machine screws.

Yeah, in reverse

he do it manually using that slider...

M.d Arief Ariffin no he did reversed the footage

the quick release he showed. if you don't have that I guess you could buy a nut that fits the threads on the tripod. then sit the slider on the tripod and just use the nut and a washer to hold it there. make sure that is tight though.

+Toms Paupe In what languaje do you need the list, i speak spanish?

would be great in english, for example, i don't know the name of that three leg thing on what that slider is.

it's a regular tripod, the quick release plate attached to the slider it's meant to fit in it

if you already have a tripod, you just need an extra quick release plate that fits

i need tripod as well.. i have one very little :) Thank you very much :) tripod and release plate are that things what i need :)

lazy :)

its not that hard try rewatching it. all you have to do are two things. just mount your the slider to your tripod then mount your ball head to the slider.

thanks man, i will try this again.

yeah let us know. im debating if I want to do that this weekend haha

im considering making one as well... i kinda want a pro one tho.
