This is a quick test shot with the Zaza slider. The slider is a track and carriage system that can be assembled for about $150 from parts available from a top notch company http://www.igus.com/
This company specializes in industrial bearings and rails.
Here are the Parts to order>>
Here’s the order:
WS-16-60 Drylin ‘W’ rail 1000mm
WW-16-60-10 Drylin ‘W’ carriage
There is discussion to infinity on the construction here!!
This tripod mounted slider gives a dolly shot look with a very light and portable system. I have begun to study the looks of camera movements in video and film. The thought process is very different from still shooting, exciting.
that looks great.
Love it. Not bad for half an hour of playing around!
Glad you like the slider! Looks great.
I’m working on some new designs, so keep an eye out.
Best,
