Here is my version of a DIY motorized juicedLink slider. Essentially a more robust version of what was done over at CheesyCam.
Motorized using a Hi-Tec digital servo and battery pack from ServoCity, MXL belt and pulleys, and servo driver from eBay.
Needs some modification to be used for time lapse, but works well for video in it's current form.
Servo has no problem going vertical!
