“Slide your camera back and forth automatically for cool shots while building stuff or showing off products - powered by Arduino Nano board.
Do you need a camera slider to get really interesting action shots of you building something, a product, or even what you’ve built?
Servocity offers a good slider kit, but doesn’t have a ready-made controls assembly for it. This post will outline how to take a servo motor modified for continuous rotation, and adapt it to that kit in order to make it truly portable. The downside is that it will be difficult to make it go as slow as the original kit, but not having to drag around an umbilical cord makes it easy to transport to your preferred filming location.
You’ll also need a servo plate, coupling, standoffs, and a couple 6-32 screws to properly mount the servo. Video of the process can be found here, and it’ll be embedded a the end of the video.
This concept could likely be used with other types of sliders, but would need to be adapted to the mechanism you’re using.”
