This tutorial offers a cheap and and easy way of making a DIY cam slider that is tripod mounted.
Total build cost around 20 dollars US.
It is by no means perfect and it does not give Hollywood stile slides but the slides are pretty good as can be seen in the last part of the video.
It is still under development so stay tuned for updates on modifications.
Tripod mount for the Go Pro is inspired by RAMBO who is the moderator of the Go Pro user forum.
