2. Implementation

Use the C-Beam Tension XL Linear Actuator (or any of our other actuators) as the basis for a Camera Slider to shoot some amazing motion video. Add a couple 250mm 20x40mm V-Slot Extrusions to form a set of solid feet.

We added a couple Rubber Feet underneath to keep it from sliding around, and dampemn vibrations. A convenient carry handle helps you move the rig from shoot to shoot.

A set of 3D printed parts provides rotation and tilt control.
