DIY Camera Motion Control

Posted on November 9, 2009 in Cinematography | No Comments

Here is a cool little do it yourself motion control system.

“The system consists of a ready-made IGUS DryLin W rail system and a small stepping motor which is controlled by an Arduino interface board. Once the controller program is loaded the system works stand alone. It can be powered by a battery and can be controlled by a simple power switch because the programmed task starts automatically each time the Arduino board is powered on. It’s possible to move loads (camera + mounting head) of up to 6 kg (3 lbs).”
