As usual I don't have much time to put together nice looking informative tutorials. But I hope this will get you started in the right direction of how to make a very reliable, smooth, and light weight traveling slider for your iPhone or any small camera for that matter. If you have any questions please feel free to comment. Oh and I filmed this using my iPhone 4S and my Canon T3i.
Before anyone asks you can not cut the sled shorter because if you do and slide the sled to one side then the bearings will fall out. The sled is what holds the bearings in place. And check out my web site www.trinityfxmg.com

  • I picked up a set of these in 24 inch and thought I was being innovative. Oh well you beat me to it, but I am thinking about stacking the two back to back or on top of each other to get more slide from them. Great tutorial.

  • @akbychoice Thanks akbychoice. I don't think you will need longer slides. It all depends on what you want. But my main reason for this was to make a travel friendly slider that I can take with me without thinking about it. Take a look at my video Introspective. I used it for this piece and you will see how long the slide is especially the first scene outside the window and I actually cut the video shorter to fit with the timing.

  • Thank you codebreaker2001. I have several different DSLR cameras and just started using my iPhone 4s for certain projects. But I needed the tools to get the shots to look as professional as posable so these DIY tools were made. They work great. 

  • I love your videos keep up the great work :)

  • @jaysenstudios Thanks for the comment.

  • Pretty awesome. I personally don't have an iPhone (I have a Canon T2i), but I do appreciate seeing that those who are using the iPhone as a filmmaking tool are going the mile to make sure they have the right tools for them.
