Camera Slider with Parallax

grabcad

This is a motorized camera slider with an attachable parallax bar. It's built on the Open Builds V-slot platform. In this particular build there's two sets of wheels which allow the slider to move about twice the distance of the length of the V-slot rail. There are also limit switches included to prevent crashes. The slider can support a DSLR or mirror-less camera weighing up to 1kg. You need to use a fairly robust tripod however because there's a lot of strain on the mounting plate due to the cantilevering action of the camera when it reaches the travel limit. In the future I'll upgrade the mounting plate to use 6 V-slot wheels rather than just 4, which will allow for heavier cameras. This modification won't affect the rest of the design so go ahead and try this out, and you can always update it later!
