New Motor for Motor controller package

Update #4 · Mar 14, 2012 · comment

I have updated the Motor for the Motor package. It's now a high quality Dayton Offset Gear Motor. We are taking on the cost adjustment of the higher quality motor during the Kickstarter project. This motor runs better and stronger and the new setup allows for easy changing of different RPM motors for future motor trade outs.

Future Accessories

Update #3 · Feb 29, 2012 · comment

 I am working on future optional accessories. I am creating a bolt on carrying handle and a swing system, which with certain tripod heads, will allow a turning motion of the camera while sliding to create more dynamic movement.

Thumb Screws added to Foldaway legs

Update #2 · Feb 29, 2012 · comment
I have changed out the screws for the foldaway legs to thumb screws to allow for easy setup of the rail system. No more Allen wrench needed. Now faster setup of your rail without having to carry tools.

Reward Update for Motor Kit

Update #1 · Feb 21, 2012 · comment

We are getting the MX2 Controller kits for the motor reward to our backers fully assembled. No more soldering required. We have a technician who will build and program each unit. So you can be ready to have a motorized slider with all the parts. Shown is our Motor kit with a MX2 Controller shipped in a Pelican 1010 case included in the reward.
