John Park’s Workshop Camera Slider Test @adafruit @arduino @johnedgarpark
Motorized sliders are great for truck/dolly shots and time-lapse photography. I decided to upgrade my camera slider capabilities from a LEGO Technics tow truck to something more … professional.
It just so turns out, there is an excellent DIY Bluetooth Motorized Camera Slider guide in the Adafruit Learning System. So I ordered the components, 3D printed the parts (including these modified remixes), and built it. I’m super pleased by the results, and impressed by the quality of this design by our own Ruiz Brothers, with contributions by Phil B. and KTOWN. It was a fun build and will be a useful tool.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
