The Actobotics Channel Slider Kit is a game - changer for video enthusiasts. It lets you bring your videos to life! With an overall length of 24 inches and 19 inches of usable slide travel, it easily fits in a carry - on bag. Weighing only 1.1 lbs without the motor, it's perfect for capturing your active lifestyle on the go. The motor mount works with most 3 - 12V standard gearmotors and 6 - 12V precision gearmotors. You can customize the slider for real - time or super slow time - lapse shots according to your shooting style. Made entirely of Actobotics components, it's incredibly easy to expand. Actobotics is a great robotics building system with extruded aluminum channels, gears, precision shafts, and ball bearings. Thanks to standardized hole patterns, you can connect components intuitively. This wide range of components makes it possible to build complex electromechanical prototypes or finished projects. Note: This kit doesn't include a gearmotor or stepper motor, which you'll need to buy separately. You can find Assembly Instructions, the Product Page (637108), and a Product Video for more details.
Using the Actobotics Channel Slider Kit is easy. First, if you've bought your gearmotor or stepper motor separately, attach it to the motor mount. Then, set up the slider wherever you want to shoot your video. You can adjust the speed according to your shooting style - for fast action, use a 3 - 12V standard gearmotor, and for slow time - lapse, a 6 - 12V precision gearmotor works great. When you're done shooting, it's very easy to disassemble and put it in your carry - on bag as it's lightweight and portable. Remember, this kit doesn't come with a motor, so make sure you've got one before starting. For maintenance, keep the components clean. Wipe down the extruded aluminum channels and check the connections regularly. If any parts seem loose, you can easily tighten them thanks to the standardized hole patterns. Also, store the kit in a dry place to prevent any rust or damage to the precision components.
