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 RUclips 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
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!
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!
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.
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!
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.
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...
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.
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!
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
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

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.
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.
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.
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 :(
...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?
hmm so if I wanted one for astrophotography where there was 30 seconds between shots I should probably have like a 2rpm motor? or somehow use gearing to step down the ratio of your motor
Can you be more specific on the microswitches? I'm looking at online suppliers and they don't specifically say "unipolar bidirectional microswitches" in the description. Instead they say SPDT (single pole, double throw?) and give ratings like "0.6A,125VDC". Can you describe the microswitches in different terms?

Could you make a light mover using this motor and track design that moves at slow rate and then reverse back and forth with an adjustable pause on each end of the track for an even canopy?
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.

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.
Nice rail setup and cool use of switches too, it's not a sloppy build its really creative well done man 👌
Nice setup, would you mind making a wire drawing that is more clear when not connecting a wire to the frame.

Congratulations!
Wonderfully explained and edited. Very good work.
Nice Build I like the way you kept everything simple, ..... ps don't mind the Trolls Keep up the good work.
Great job on this, it's cheap and should work great, plus you can modify it more to fit your needs.

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.
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.
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
Simple and Effective, whats not to like.
That's pretty cool i was wondering if there was a way to do some stuff with r/c gear! Thanks for posting this
Well done. Thanks for sharing... I might give this a try.
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...

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.
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
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.
With that setup and 3 seconds between frames, how many frames can you capture on a full run of the slider?
bom seu invento. parabéns,
como você fez para deixar as duas cantoneiras alinhadas?
Hi
Great DIY.. Many thanks for vid
Which motor do you use... possible to have model number
very impressive and I appreciate the parts list
Finally someone I can solder better than!!
Do you feel that motor is strong enough or do you wish you got something stronger?
can i order one from u?
saw you comment on Roland Comfort channel are the Tascam 680MKII mic preamps a big jump in noticeable audio over the previous 680 version?
Great Slider, but i don´t understand what did you do whit the two "free" wires?
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.
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.
Did you try this for night time-lapse? Would be interested to hear your results.
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 :(
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!
How much of a weight load have you successfully put on this?
...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?
You can find the limit switches , motor, wires and sometimes the dpdt switch in a microwave.
hmm so if I wanted one for astrophotography where there was 30 seconds between shots I should probably have like a 2rpm motor? or somehow use gearing to step down the ratio of your motor
possibly add potentiometer to the circuit, so you can adjust the motors speed?
@@theodorstravels To do this you must use a stepper motor
Would this work for night time-lapse with around a 20-30" shutter speed?
How many rpm for a 10 second interval?
That's exactly what I was looking for. Brilliant.
Use blue threadlock if you want to be able to remove the parts without using heat to loosen the threadlock.
Great! Could you do a diy stabiliser?
This is great. Really smart tutorial dude, and damn easy to follow.
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?
Can you be more specific on the microswitches? I'm looking at online suppliers and they don't specifically say "unipolar bidirectional microswitches" in the description. Instead they say SPDT (single pole, double throw?) and give ratings like "0.6A,125VDC". Can you describe the microswitches in different terms?
Wow. What a great tutorial. Thank you !
how much would you charge to build one of these for me?
how mucho would you charge me to make one for me ...... I would love to have one
Instant sub. THis video was great, you are raeally good at explaining. Thanks a million
As rodas são de 70 ou 80 mm?
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!
This is really clever. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent work dude!

Could you make a light mover using this motor and track design that moves at slow rate and then reverse back and forth with an adjustable pause on each end of the track for an even canopy?
Thank you very much for the video and good idea!!! I made similar one with speed controller etc.
AAAAhhhh, Ilove it!
Nice work!!
Very nice and clean video. Thank you.
Could probably use a raspberry pie to make different speeds?
Amazing work man, thanks for sharing
Nice video, nice presentation and voice
U make so great videos :D love it
que bueno ese sistema hermano lo voy a construir felicitaciones....
can i buy it? :-P
Awesome bro. I did mine with an old printer trail!!
Thank you very much. very informative, clear and simple.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing it!
+Soundscrap Thanks!
Thanks, great build!
Can I just pay you for the one you have or to build me one
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!
epoxy won't melt
RC Experimental... Subbed for that.
excellent idea man!!!
Ok...
You have a beautiful mind!
I bow.
awesome Dude. such a gr8 job. so let tell me how can I buy that for 20 Dollars? you are the best. Thx)
$20?!!! - I'll give you a $100. Make me one! haha
me too!
I can just say INNOVATIVE :)
awesome tutorial!
Awesome bro...You're the shit!...Just in the process of making the slider, but this is definitely on the list!
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.
Sick. But I am way too stupid for this lol. Thanks for a cool video though!
+ntstudio28 Haha - I was thinking that. lol
Haha, exactly what I was about to write! I am way too dumb..
Thank you for the Video , i will use this idea
Cool bro, thanks for the idea!
brooooo can you make it for me and i can buy it for double the price? because i don't have the tools :(
great work dude! ;)
Thanks for sharing , Good Content
amigo... eu juro que não tinha visto esse vídeo antes, mas eu construí um igual ao seu trilho....
Perfect! Respect!
Stabilizer and vest. Working on it when I got this comment notification ;)
Muy bueno! Esta clarisimo, muy buen tema, eres genial. Muchas gracias!
Man, U R a Genius! :) It`s too hard for me!
Wtf is sodder??
Where did the l go??
thanks dude :) best one out for sure
Awesome gadget man
