This is the first version of an almost fully 3D printed camera slider, using 10mm O/D carbon fibre rods and 4mm O/D PTFE solid rods as inserts for the bearings. I see this more as a proof of concept as my main aim is to make a small motorised version for time lapse photography, to be used with a GoPro primarily but also other small cameras and phones.

I wanted something light so it's good for hiking or travelling and this is also a way of testing the prototype bearings out.

There is a short video showing a basic assembly, as well as a quick video test and basic strength test.
