Sample footage from DIY motorized slider at Vigeland Sculpture Park

Did a DIY project building a motor with speed control to my Kessler Pocket Dolly Basic Slider. I´m pretty satisfied with my setup so far. Next week I will take this setup with me out in the wild to get some nice fall colors (hopefully!)



DIY Kessler Pocket Dolly motorizing project

Nice video and clips!

Thanks! Hope this will enhance those static clips which I think is a bit boring!

I like the speed and style - nice looking footage.

I have been looking at a DIY motor system. Could I ask if you are using servos?

I got the items from ServoCity
The motor is a 45 RPM Precision Gear Motor - http://www.servocity.com/html/precision_robotzone_gear_motor.html
and a Controller - http://www.servocity.com/html/digital_manual_speed_controlle.html#.VBhVXUs4Suc
and some Pulleys and XL belts - http://www.servocity.com/html/pulleys___belts.html
Note that I would have choosen a faster motor 60 or 75 RPM if I ordered today!
All items costed me around $200, not bad when you look at the price for ready made motorized systems!

Thanks for that info - it was servocity that I was looking at. Did you order them in from USA?

Yes and they shipped the day after payment, so I´m quite satisfied with them :)

Good to know.

Have you rigged up something like this:

I will provide some photos of the setup tomorrow, stay tuned... :)

Look forward to it!
