16x9 Cinema: IGUS DryLin DIY Video Slider for HDSLR Filmakers

16x9cinema.com In this short video blog post, I share a little more information about the Igus DryLin rails system modified to use as a video camera slider. Several weeks ago I posted an unboxing video on YouTube of three different Igus DryLin rail systems for making an inexpensive slider for your camcorder or HDSLR. I took the rail system to a local machinist and had him tap in a mounting hole in each rail so I could attach the rails to a tripod. I also had a mounting plate added with a 3 inch bolt to allow mounting a video head to the rail. The ends of the rails were tapped and a bolt and washer added to prevent the cradle from sliding off the rails. This iPhone 4 video (don't expect high production values here) shows the end results. I just want to quickly show you my newly machined Igus sliders. You will see a couple of sample clips I took with the Canon 5D Mark II mounted to the Igus DryLin W16-A rail system. I mounted a Nikkor 55mm macro lenses to the Canon 5D Mark II. Bottom line: These are clearly a great option for the budget conscious filmmaker.
