I have a question: I'm from Iraq .. And something mythical and legendary to get this camera. But I wonder .. What kind of bar of this camera? Is it magnetic or digital HD??? Please
I made a cheap camera slider for my DSLR using both plumbing and electrical PVC for the track, a $4 plastic cutting board for the trolly and eight skateboard wheels. Four for the top and four on the inside as guides.
Smooth as silk. Even motorized it using an old 16mm zoom lens motor I had laying around. It rocks! Visit this site to see just how I did it.
