    Pro tip for this DIY slider: use a small rubber elastic band to pull the camera. It really smoothens out the hand fibrations and speed differences.
    This trick also works for rotational shots from a simple tripod with handle. Don't grab the handle. Instead tie a small rubber elastic band to the handle and pull on the other end of this band.

      HkRedPill that’s because in film, most things are measured in imperial units. When focusing the camera you talk about distance in feet from the lens to the actor and often write markings on tape when doing some kind of tracking shot to pull focus.

    Thank you so much for making this video! I recently designed my own 3d printer with a massive build volume of 300cm by 300cm. The only problem was that I wanted to used lighter, thicker 3/8inch (9.5mm) aluminum rods for the x-axis, rather than 5/16inch (8mm) steel rods, because the steel ones weighed twice as much, even though they were thinner, and I couldn't find the proper size linear bearings for the aluminum ones for cheap. Then I watched this extremely helpful video which gave me the wonderful idea of designing and printing pieces similar to the pulley bearings (at the size needed), and inserting skate bearings into them, allowing me to easily use my aluminum rods. It works perfectly, and without watching this video I would have never figured it out. It took me many tries to get the tolerances right, about 5 in total because I didn't have a caliper for measurement at the time, but now I've perfected it. I'll probably put all of the brackets and bearings I've designed on thingiverse and make a video about it, giving you your well deserved credit of course.

    Great DIY build! Now I just wish I had $45 burning a hole in my pocket...
    Just a tip for drilling metals: always drill metal at a slow speed. Long, curly shavings should be seen, not small flecks and dust. While copper is relatively soft for a metal, drilling harder metals such as steel require slow drill speeds. Drilling at high speeds while drilling metal creates excess friction and heat and rapidly wears the drill bit being used.

    Hello,Im a hobby videographer and the standard sliders are just too expensive for a Hobby videographer in his early years ^^ :D
    For me as a new subscriber this video was amazing,you describe every step and show how its done ! Keep the good work up ,I like your videos I watched some of them just now and found this tutorial,I will send you some pictures after I finish building this thing ,and be sure your channel will grow and grow and grow ,Cheers from Cologne-Germany :) !!

      @JoriDiculous 8 років тому +2

      +UpsetGaming You can use the things from this project to make one. Both the cobber pipes for the crane arm, some thing for the base (You could use a tripod for that depending on how massive your crane is), and use the same tripod head for the camera mount.
      All you need then is a counterweight that ideally weight the same as the crane-arm with mounted camera, and you are well on your way :P
      The tricky part would be to make the gimbal for the camera so its always pointed in the direction you want whatever angle the crane is.

      Should not even be that hard...
      Add another weel to the other side (like he did with his counterweight system) and pull a rope through it all. Then hook it up to a motor and voila, here goes your motorised slider system. The complicated part of this is getting a motor that's strong enough to pull everything and moves smooth enough to not ruin your shot.

      +Oliver Österlind Wouldn't that just be a small brushless DC motor that pulls on the rope at a fixed speed? Shouldn't be very hard I think, unless you want to control it with an arduino or raspberry pi and do custom variable speeds and stuff.

    • @karl5874
      @karl5874 8 років тому +1

    One concern with copper pipe is I think it would be easy to dent. Drop it or accidentally dent it and your slider and it's useless. A better material carbon fiber rod which you can get off eBay in virtually any dimension

    • @FilmmakerIQ
      @FilmmakerIQ 8 років тому

      I don't think sand or foam would protect it enough - you just need a tiny dent mess up the movement of a slider. Ultimately you need a harder substance to make the rails out of.

    • @FilmmakerIQ
      @FilmmakerIQ 8 років тому

      Thicker pipe would help but I don't think they sell thicker copper pipe - copper's pretty expensive - the stuff is made to carry water and it's designed to have some bend in it for installation.

    nice video. thats ALOT of work. If anyone is interested in doing this MUCH simpler, you could use a premade slider, such as ball bearing drawer hardware. (that makes your kitchen drawers slide in and out) you can find very long sliders and you might get them free because people always remodel kitchens and throw the old hardware away. Its even more smooth and fluid and has a natural ability to regulate its speed. why "re-invent the wheel?"

      +SuicideNeil how is aluminium going to be more expensive when it is literally the most abundant material on earth and very easy to work with? not only is copper heavier, it is much more expensive. at this short of a length (1500 mm) it'd be hard to notice the difference between this and a slightly thicker walled (22x1,5 mm is the thinnest i could find with that outer diameter) aluminium tube

      Easier to find, and standard.
      Making a video, you can't really recommend things that people can't find.
      And you can't recommend things which aren't standardized.
      Aluminum and stainless steel tubing are more specialty items, and the specs could vary greatly based on supplier.
      They may be better choices for you, but they're not better for an instructional video, which has to take into account the audience.
