1 Displaying end section of 5 ply timber platform 33 x 11.5in. Carpenters 5/8 wood dowel 33in.
2 Carriage edge bearing on wood dowel. White Teflon Tape on edge of carriage, (Plumbers Pipe Thread Sealing Tape) For low friction contact.
3 Lubricate Platform & Carriage bearing surfaces with Baby Powder (French Chalk)
4 1/4in Mushroom head mounting screw. Note recessed hole to hide screw head.
5 Teflon Tape wound around carriage base to form a bearing surface. I started with 2 strips of cardboard, then wound teflon tape over cardboard.
6 Teflon tape around edges, this forms bearing surface on contact with wooden dowel rod. All about reducing friction.

Clips from HF10 are more convincing. Also, Vimeo do funny tricks with video from time to time.
I guess what I picked up was the lack of stabilization in the camera. such a pity they forgot it lol but as I said this is really great so thanks for sharing your nifty idea
Luck with yours.
Cool idea Ron. Now, lets see the dolly . . .
I may post a (very) short clip of "Hello Dolly" In progress, it's looking better, I think.
What WA lens do you have on that cam at the beginning?
All clips with Tamron 28/200 mm F3.5-6.3 A light compact every day use lens. Being compact, ideal for the slider, keeping the center of gravity in right spot, camera has easier movement. Most were @ 28 to 35 mm. Opening clip, audio gear, Lensbaby Composer 50 mm.
