 DIY dolly: Interesting ebay item: 4 foot linear stageSaw this and thought it might appeal to someone. Ends Aug 22nd 2011.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290600013655&category=55826&_trksid=p5197.c0.m619 Linear stage. 48" of travel. I maybe wrong, but I'd guess that the lead screw has a pitch of approx. 1" per turn. That means 48 turns to get shuttle from one end to the other, requiring 9,600 steps of a standard 200-step stepper motor. Strikes me as well spec'd for time-lapsing. _________________ Little Bramper website and on Timescapes Link to Time-lapse FAQ |

Re: DIY dolly: Interesting ebay item: 4 foot linear stage Hot, shame it's not in the UK, would probably cost a ton to get that shipped over here.

Re: DIY dolly: Interesting ebay item: 4 foot linear stage Ill bet that thing weighs a ton, for a shorter rail i think something lightweight would be a better choice, might as well make it light and portable if it will be under 6 feet.
Im sure it would do a great job though, i was looking at stuff similar to that when i was designing Chronos. _________________ http://www.BioLapse.com http://www.TheChronosProject.com |

Ebay seems to continue to raise fees and charge fees for things they didn't in the past. They own paypal as well and now rape you on paypal charges. I know in the past some people ran ebay businesses I'm wondering if it's getting harder to make money or even possible to make money anymore? I know as a 'normal user', you get charged 10% on the final selling value (might be less for high value items). Then you get an additional 4% (or so) charge from paypal, its rediculous. If can make selling items a waste of time, hopefully more people will start using gumtree or similar _________________ Commercial time lapse: https://www.timepluslight.co.uk/ |
