My DIY Overkill MKI Motorized / Timelapse Dolly

[scottrellwi]

Wow, this is really great work. I just found the 8020.inc website this weekend, and my mind is buzzing about options for DSLR sliders and cranes. I totally understand the mechanics of the slider, but could you tell us a little more about the electronics and programming required to make this work? Maybe another tutorial? I am interested more in the unit as a motorized video slider, but it is neat to think it could be used for time lapse as well.

Thanks in advance.

Have you figured out a silent motor option yet?

Great job with this!

Nice job,

Glue bubbles on the ends for leveling.

Thanks for uploading. I have one question. Did you get both the Dolly Shield and Arduino board from Dynamic Perception or did you buy the Arduino board separately?

Thank you

Is it strong enough to pull the camera up an angle of say, 20-30 degrees?

I just updated the description Nov, 21 2011 to include links to most of the parts I used to build the slider. Enjoy!

Very nice work there . Wonder where did you get the drive belt and sprokets Thanks

[CharlesHenrySanson]

Very nice construction. Are you an engineer?

[paulcotto]

@CharlesHenrySanson No, I have been an aircraft mechanic since 1984. I have been inventing and building things I need since grade school. Look at some of my other video's to see other things I have made.

Thanks!

any chance you could list out in text what you got to make this? looks absolutely perfect!

really good job... how much did you spend finally? (i'm not english so i don't understand at all what you say even if is very clear so i don't know if you already said that). Thanks for sharing with us your project.

[paulcotto]

@midilab01 I think I spent about $400 for eveything.
