Motorized Camera Slider (with Object Tracking) + Control APP

large_preview_DSC_0057.jpg

OBJECT TRACKING CAMERA SLIDER:

This is a remotely controlled (open source) CAMERA SLIDER with tracking system. Two motors will be in charge of moving a platform where you can attach your smartphone/GOPRO or DSLR camera to and ,at the same time, pan it tracking an object.

Interactive 3D model of the camera slider here

This camera slider can be EXTREMELY SLOW (0.01 mm/sec) but strong enough to smoothly move the camera platform

You just have to let this Arduino robot know the location of the object to be filmed and it will calculate in real time what to do in order to keep the target always in the center of the camera view.

Once the moving platform (with the camera) reaches the end of the rail, it will decelerate and come back to the original position, swinging back and forward until you decide to stop it.

The camera can be replaced for a Webcam, flashlight, laser… anything you would like to play with.

Remotely controlled using your smartphone or tablet (WIFI).

The robot can be controlled from your own smartphone/tablet using the freely available APP Android or iOS ):

You can even control its travelling / panning speed in real time.

Perfect for Time-Lapse videos, to create artistic presentations, to show different point of views during a webcam call/ demonstration video.

Check out some videos here and how it works here: https://www.jjrobots.com/camera-slider-tracking-system-3d-printed/

This robot uses the same electronics and motors you would need to create the:
Air Hockey Robot
Sphere-O-Bot (eggbot MOD)
iBoardbot
B-robot EVO 2

(and more to come…)

Get tired of one robot? Create another just printing the 3D parts!

Everything is modifiable: this is an Arduino based OPEN SOURCE robot
