WIFI motorized Camera Slider (with Tracking)

OBJECT TRACKING CAMERA SLIDER: This is a remotely controlled open source camera slider with tracking system. Two motors will move a platform where you can attach your smartphone, GoPro, or DSLR camera and pan it tracking an object at the same time. Interactive 3D model of the camera slider here. This camera slider can be extremely slow (0.01 mm/sec) but strong enough to smoothly move the camera platform. You just have to let this Arduino robot know the location of the object to be filmed, and it will calculate in real-time what to do to keep the target always in the center of the camera view. Once the moving platform with the camera reaches the end of the rail, it will decelerate and come back to the original position, swinging back and forward until you decide to stop it. The camera can be replaced by a Webcam, flashlight, laser, or anything else you'd like to play with. Remotely controlled using your smartphone or tablet (WIFI). The robot can be controlled from your own smartphone/tablet using the freely available APP Android or iOS: You can even control its traveling/panning speed in real-time. Perfect for Time-Lapse videos, creating artistic presentations, showing different points of view during a webcam call/demonstration video.
