Manufacturing of Low Cost Semi Automatic Camera Slider

Abstract

This papers deals with the efficient design of a camera slider. A camera crane is useful for getting high shots or low shots which need to move a great distance horizontally or vertically, without the expense and safety issues of putting a camera operator on a crane for a crane shot or laying track for a camera dolly. The slider has a movable carriage that is attached directly to the camera or attached with a tripod head between the camera and the carriage for more panning and angle options. It is difficult for the short film makers to capture the effective shots without any blurriness, noise and uninterrupted video. Hence, the equipment’s like tripod, slider, shoulder rig, crane are required to get proper quality of the captured shots. This equipment’s are of high cost, difficult to afford and are not portable. To overcome these factors, all the equipment’s are integrated as one compact device. In this paper the use of each equipment is analysed. The techniques of all the equipment was studied and integrated. Aluminium profile extension is used to integrate these equipment’s. Aluminium profile extrusion is mounted on the already available tripod stand. The functions of slider, shoulder rig, crane is gathered as a single component. The zooming, focusing and rotation of the camera axis is automated using servo motor, gear motor and servo controller.
