This is my version of a diy pocket dolly, driven by an adjustable 12V gear motor. The power comes from 8 AA rechargeable batteries, which are integrated into the controller. The dolly is pretty light and compact so that it fits in a backpack and I can take it with me on walks and on holiday trips.

It is a combination of video and photo sequences. The sequence with the toilet, for example, consists of 250 photos. The photo sequences I shot in raw and processed to HDR's.
We 'd really apreciate it!
thx
It looks like HDR photography !
What's your secret ? What lenses are you suing with 5d ?

A tutorial about how you mounted the motor on the igus track would be great
Great shots! Great grading! ...er, GREAT!
Lenses? Music? Plans?
Music: audionetworkplc.com/production-music/mission-to-mars_27117.aspx
I modified the music a bit
I'm also interested in finding out the name of this track.
Great job, Ben.
It is "Mission to Mars" : audionetworkplc.com/production-music/mission-to-mars_27117.aspx
Photoshop and After Effects for color correction.
But have you tried doing multiple takes and then combining it to HDR video with it? From the video above I can only tell there are some HDR timelapses in it...
the video are very clear and sharp and nice DOF.
could you teach how to compress the video file as you did.
Thanks for sharing.
I had mentioned above, I still have problems with the fast motor because it transmits vibrations to the camera. But if this works I might build a few :-).The price is probably at 320 €
But basically, I've built the dolly just for me and not for sale. And if there is anyone who wants to rebuild it, I try to support him.
Great vids you have here.
Thanks so much :)
I've got a queastion about auto brightness controll.. I saw that bright of movie don't change. In my d90 when I'm get camera from dark scene into light, my camera change brightness even I've got M program.
Do you change something in soft? Or it's piece by post edit?
Amazing.
im realy happy to saw this video.
thanks
Pelo que parece, nos dois gostamos de prédios abandonados.
after seeing your footage again and again ... i want one myself . thx already for Share your thoughts
greets

The rack is 10 mm high. Good luck with the rebuild.
I wish to build one. Have you the coplete list of the stuff that I nedd at Igus? (Igus is also in Milan, Italy!) I understand ws-10-80, but I've not understand wich W pillow block..
For the gears rack, I'm thinking to use something in rubber, maybe that solve same vibration problems.
Thanks a lot!
igus.de/wpck/default.aspx?Pagename=DryLin_W_Fuehrungsschlitten_montiert&CL=DE-en
Step by Step
The order code of the pillow block is ESTM-BB1-F06-101
I've got also the diy slider, ordered from igus, but no motor yet. maybe worth a try...
thx and cheers
Thanks for your comment. It´s worth definitely a try.
thanks a lot!
I had a call with Igus, and I found this stuff:
CODICE: ZLW-0630-02-S-60-L-1000 -Asse lineare con cinghia
autolubrificante Drylin® ZLW-0630 versione standard con piastra mobile
L=60mm, corsa utile 1000mm e uscita codolo di comando sul lato sinistro.
QUANTITA': 1 pz.
PREZZO: 322,00 euro /cad
Zlw series, are more expensive, but they have rubber belt and gears..
Now I'm think which is the best.
thanks a lot!
Bye, Tomas
I had also thought about taking the ZLW. It certainly works great but I found it too expensive.
You also still need a motor and a controller.
If you want to spend so much money, think about buying a finished system like this one: dynamicperception.com/
Thanks for all all of your great support. I'm no techi, but looking at the ZLW, would not the motor be connected at one of the ends of the rail? This way one could separate the motor from the sliding platform with the camera - and it would seem that this should aid with the vibration problems generated by a faster motor.
As I would like to use this dolly in video work (outside the macro world), I'm really looking for faster speeds (20 secs for the m would be nice). So if the ZLW would help the vibrations and the controller + motor or the only thing needed on top of it, well then, the price is still alright.
Any thoughts on this? Am I way off?
Greetings,
Johannes
The solution with the "zlw" is definitely the better one. First, it is virtually finished, you have only to mount a motor on it.
Second, it is also the better technical solution, as you already recognized correctly, the motor is mounted at the end of the rail, so you have no problems with vibrations.
BUT a meter will cost € 362 (including VAT). And about 70 € for motor and controller (in a solution with gear motor)
But maybe I have an interesting insider tip for you. I have heard that Igus will sell early next year a motorized dolly by themselves. So then you have a complete solution,... will be interesting how expensive it will be....
I might inquire into that igus product if they plan on selling it in the first quarter of 2011 (have a deadline on a project in March before which I could really use one). And I found they have a line of products already in the service of Tv and video production.
The swiss franc is currently sweet on both the dollar and the euro, but even with a meter/net price of 300 Eur for the ZLW the alternatives are limited.
With the Dynamic Perception dolly which is optimized for time lapse I'm looking at 1000 USD with shipping + 7,6 % VAT + import taxes. The kessler bloom dolly shipped would be over 1300 USD + 7,6 % VAT + taxes (the simple pocket dolly only 800 shipped w/o taxes). The bloom dolly works great for video, but would need costly modifications for timelapse use.
So your DIY project (modified with the ZLW for the faster motor) is a serious and cheaper alternative. It amounts to maybe 600 USD or Swiss francs (after taxes and shipped!).
So thumbs up to your initiative!
And from the looks of the macro footage it works not only for timelapse but as a rather smooth video slider with a HDSLR.
Greetings,
Johannes
I am currently working on a solution with the normal igus rail and a belt drive. The motor will be attached to the end of the rail. A bit more work but cheaper than the zlw...
I work in a cinema production & service company in Venice, Italy.
So usually, I use dollies, cranes, remote heads for big cameras.
Now, I'm personally testing to shoot with reflex, and I'm very interested to the timelapse.
I started to build a normal dolly with 4 wheel of the rollerblade.
I think that the best think is to have a best motion control.
So, I just bought the necessary to make this controller:
danielschweinert.com/blog/files/e86ad946b790d29e72a6c09544ce7b37-5.html
and, of course, a stepper motor.
so, many thanks
Tomas
