Triple
Project Ideation
1- How many times have I tried to adjust my camera angle and fix the tripod and more, more
all of this costs a lot of time this is my main problem that needs to be solved, I already made many DIY, Handcraft projects and I need to document them by using a camera slider photographic will be on another level of perfecanalism
2- Save a lot of time can cause to save money and effort so I give it a lot of care
3- My inspiration comes from a DIY project on an intractable website (DIY slider)
camera recording will am working on some documentary
MY CURRENT SETUP
Could you look at the camera mount?
My camera frame after many adjustment
Example for DIY camera slider
How would it work?
As simple as I can make a smart camera slider that has a Maine future of controlling the position of the camera mounted on the slider, contains user inputs (on-off switch, push buttons to control movement, speed, memory, delete)
1-by pressing on direction push button you can move the camera forward and backward
2-by pressing on the (save+ M1) buttons keys you can save the current position on the memory
3-by pressing on ( M1 or M2 or M3 ) you command a camera to move to a saved position regarding a saved memory value
