Really glad your soldering skills aren't top notch. Soldering is scary for a lot of people, so seeing that it will work even though it isn't perfect, is really encouraging!

@djmarkalmond 7 лет назад

This was a great build. All the viewers who say it's sloppy and tatty, who cares, it does the job! And all the other DIY sliders on RU-vid require top notch tools, this one, anyone can build without expensive tool kits, lathes, Mills, drills, tappers etc.. Well Done to the lad on a clever and simple design. Thank you

@nikko444 10 лет назад

That's a really cool decision witch eliminates weird step motors, controllers etc. imho it's the best decision to start your time lapse experiments with. Thank you!

I find it annoying that people put up mean comment, it tells me that they are jealous that they didn't think of it first. Great design on a budget and it WORKS!! isn't that what we all want!

@konstapelwalander 11 лет назад

Been watching vids like yours for a long time.. and most designs have ups and downs... but your dolly design with the wheels inside is amazing!! Nice Vid!

@RetiredTechnician 8 лет назад

Nice rail setup and cool use of switches too, it's not a sloppy build its really creative well done man 👌

@tulipfilms_ch 9 лет назад

Thanks! With a few ajustments we made this slider today! Next week we will start on making it automatic. Thank you for the inspiration. Please PM me so if you want to see the result photos and video's.

@iSOBigD 9 лет назад

Great job on this, it's cheap and should work great, plus you can modify it more to fit your needs.

@SethMcGowanTx 9 лет назад

Simple and Effective, whats not to like.

@yei9316 9 лет назад

Congratulations! Wonderfully explained and edited. Very good work.

@gregkail4348 8 лет назад

Nice Build I like the way you kept everything simple, ..... ps don't mind the Trolls Keep up the good work.

@DIYCameraGuy 12 лет назад

I use 3M double stick tape to mount a lot of things like micro switches and motors. You should try it some time and see how you like it.

@RCexperimental 11 лет назад

Haven't tried it, however I believe night TL shots generally use a more complex setup which only moves the camera between shots and remains stationary while taking a frame.

@jynclr 10 лет назад

GREAT JOB! Thanks. I was looking for a specific video such as this. :) My use will be a motorized in dash drawer for a tablet. Thank you for the idea.

@rj32 8 лет назад

Well done. Thanks for sharing... I might give this a try.

@mihigyver 9 лет назад

when i undrestand it right the motor stop when one of this both microswiches are pressed.. you can chanch it that one switch turns of when it gos to the left side and the other to right than you dont need to do that with the hand...

@diegoforest 2 года назад

Finally someone I can solder better than!!

@MorinProductions 8 лет назад

very impressive and I appreciate the parts list

@aimeeteerlink 11 лет назад

Wow. What a great tutorial. Thank you !

@dcecurtis 11 лет назад

You could probably add a potentiometer so that you can control the speed, you wouldn't have as much control as you would on a professional setup, but you would still be able to control the speed.

@lolsterism 10 лет назад

You can find the limit switches , motor, wires and sometimes the dpdt switch in a microwave.

@donniecatalano 11 лет назад

Nice video, nice presentation and voice

@Chromaticsketches 10 лет назад

$20?!!! - I'll give you a $100. Make me one! haha

@jermaine7620 10 лет назад

me too!

@robgipman1551 9 лет назад

Nice setup, would you mind making a wire drawing that is more clear when not connecting a wire to the frame.

@grube007 11 лет назад

Great project, but you can add potentiometer and change the speed of motor, that you can affect the speed of your timelapse;) Gretings from Croatia!

@tradrjakk 12 лет назад

Ever thought of upgrading this with the motor from a hand drill? you could rewire the trigger to a dimmer, etc and have adjustable speeds...

@jettrooper02 11 лет назад

Use blue threadlock if you want to be able to remove the parts without using heat to loosen the threadlock.

@artfx9 11 лет назад

Very nice and clean video. Thank you.

@productionmark 11 лет назад

Ok... You have a beautiful mind! I bow.

@MaghoxFr 11 лет назад

Instant sub. THis video was great, you are raeally good at explaining. Thanks a million

@nuvizionproductions703 10 лет назад

That's pretty cool i was wondering if there was a way to do some stuff with r/c gear! Thanks for posting this

@LIVSTM 10 лет назад

I am almost finished with building my version of your slider. Your video is most informative. The one part I don't understand is what you glued to the coupling nut that attaches to the motor. Could you provide a bit more insight into that part? Thanks.

@TheAmmarKeylani 11 лет назад

Thank you very much. very informative, clear and simple.

@StevenDonaldonYouTube 12 лет назад

RC Experimental... Subbed for that.

@TheLoser6 11 лет назад

This is great. Really smart tutorial dude, and damn easy to follow.

@dogonfamily 9 лет назад

So much hot glue.. if you timelapse with that under the sun you will leave the place with the slider (turned into pieces) into a bag. Awesome!

@abdurrahmanmoustapha 9 лет назад

epoxy won't melt

@foinkle 10 лет назад

That's exactly what I was looking for. Brilliant.

@davemins4582 8 лет назад

+ntstudio28 Haha - I was thinking that. lol

@MrKeys1983 8 лет назад

Haha, exactly what I was about to write! I am way too dumb..

@JASLIGGEE 11 лет назад

Hi, you are an amazing designer. Wondering if you had worked out a a "night" time-lapse set up yet, where longer exposures can be utilized? I hope you use your existing slider and motorized set up on this video with just some electronic tweeking? Super Job, Thanks!

@raivopavlovics 9 лет назад

Thank you very much for the video and good idea!!! I made similar one with speed controller etc.

@Kollingl 9 лет назад

Awesome bro. I did mine with an old printer trail!!

@RCexperimental 12 лет назад

Stabilizer and vest. Working on it when I got this comment notification ;)

@pinheirocap 11 лет назад

bom seu invento. parabéns, como você fez para deixar as duas cantoneiras alinhadas?

@MrOrlica 11 лет назад

solder /ˈsɒldə; US: ˈsɒdər/, wordreferencedotcom. That means, in case you haven´t understood, that both pronounciations are acceptable. And that´s what dictionaries are for, try them, they don´t bite.

@leechabowski3483 10 лет назад

@2397peter 10 лет назад

AAAAhhhh, Ilove it! Nice work!!

@jiteshpujari1 9 лет назад

Hi. Cool diy. I was wondering does this motorised dolly work even in vertical configuration?. If not vertical , does it work when kept at an angle ?. Was just sceptical about how much load the motor can take

@ChristianGrytten 8 лет назад

Thanks, great build!

@ryaneledesma 10 лет назад

Is that motor strong enough to put the whole rig at an angle? It would be nice for it to be able to pull the camera upwards at an angle

@CharlesHenrySanson 12 лет назад

I used threaded rod on a slider but used a battery powered drill to move the camera, it is noisy . i hope to use your build to correct this problem thanks.

@agrego 9 лет назад

Amazing work man, thanks for sharing

@Gumpa2 12 лет назад

U make so great videos :D love it

@chris27011986 11 лет назад

awesome tutorial!

@dtlastraightahead2133 8 лет назад

saw you comment on Roland Comfort channel are the Tascam 680MKII mic preamps a big jump in noticeable audio over the previous 680 version?

@therealorberon 10 лет назад

if you could spend more how would you spend to make the timelapse shots more stable and smoother. as it seems a wee bit shaky based on the video.

@agentscu11y 10 лет назад

Hi RCexperimental! What do you say on your ballhead? Is it sturdy enough when properly locked down? Should I buy one? I never had a ballhead mount.

@andrewnaslund9042 9 лет назад

Do you feel that motor is strong enough or do you wish you got something stronger?

@HosainSaif 11 лет назад

I can just say INNOVATIVE :)

@berragazzo 11 лет назад

I have gathered all the necessary but I don't have the wheel attachment, could you please tell me where can I find it? please, without it the project is useless :(

@christopherweaver2220 10 лет назад

With that setup and 3 seconds between frames, how many frames can you capture on a full run of the slider?

@jessesilva4319 10 лет назад

excellent idea man!!!

@ramibn1 9 лет назад

Thank you for the Video , i will use this idea

@jadenhamer1581 8 лет назад

Awesome tot urial. I was just wondering if there is a way to control the slider speed as I am not interested in making time lapses.

@berragazzo 11 лет назад

Hi, thanks for the tutorial! could you please tell me how long does the slider takes to go from a side to the other with that length? thank you!

@saintjason 8 лет назад

I haven't used an alligator clip since the 90's. You know.... for projects. lol

@dasfx 10 лет назад

Awesome bro...You're the shit!...Just in the process of making the slider, but this is definitely on the list!

@Janevjura 11 лет назад

Nice, very nice, i shoud try this Thanks !!!

@wkuhlewind8928 4 года назад

Question-But first, thank you for sharing your knowledge. Now for the question, “How do you control the stepper to motor to pause then after a second or two fire the DSLR (or other camera) to create the photos that will become frames of the time-lapse video? I would truly like the answer to this question. Perhaps you’ve already answered it or some Elise has. Would you point me in the right direction I’ve the answer. Thanks much! WLK

@marcusm2832 8 лет назад

Hey, may be I didnt understand it (german) but how you stop the slider when the camera takes the picture? is there a automatic or by hand?

@australopytekus02 9 лет назад

amigo... eu juro que não tinha visto esse vídeo antes, mas eu construí um igual ao seu trilho....

@Ujaididida 9 лет назад

can i order one from u?

@tomderoon 12 лет назад

Great! Could you do a diy stabiliser?

@eightyonebg 10 лет назад

Man, U R a Genius! :) It`s too hard for me!

@woodstyle8781 11 лет назад

Great Slider, but i don´t understand what did you do whit the two "free" wires?

@pavelm7992 11 лет назад

Perfect! Respect!

@berragazzo 11 лет назад

@Frenchpixel401 10 лет назад

pretty clever. nice video

@TimTheus 11 лет назад

...Do you think it is possible to build a night TL slider with moving / shot control on your own? Where would I need to look for those kind of TL controlers?
