Simple Camera Slider

This DIY camera slider utilizes an 80/20's 1010 extruded aluminum piece as its base, which is simple yet sturdy. It avoids complex designs like belt-driven systems and special hardware. The purpose of this slider isn't for steady video dolly effects but rather to adjust one axis for still cameras. You will need two RB_CamMount_EndCap, two knob_one_quarter_inch.stl (thanks gpvillamil), a 1/4"-20 Round/Pan Headed Bolt, four 1/4"-20 nuts, and eight 4-40 machine screws/nuts. The optional quick-release camera mount can be bought for $12-$15. Assembly involves placing the brackets into the aluminum channels, attaching it to a surface with 4-40 hardware, securing the knobs onto the bolt, threading the assembly into the camera or quick release, and tightening the knob against the camera/quick release for stability. To use, slide the camera assembly into the track until desired position is reached, then tighten the bottom knob against the aluminum. If needed, cut the extruded aluminum piece to size using a metal blade chop saw or hacksaw.
