Hi, my name is Ron Jacobs. Currently I'm working on my first dolly. I've got lots of questions about motors and gears but my learning curve is steep. After reading almost every articel there is about timelapse/dollies/hardware I've made a design to make a motorised travel-dolly based on the Igus 10-40 rail. It will be light and usable for both timelapse and real-time.
I'll keep you posted.
Eindelijk iemand uit
Eindelijk iemand uit Nederland; finally someone from the Netherlands :-).
Great to have you here. Same issues here. Learning about motors and gears.
Thanks, great to be here.
Thanks, great to be here. Done a lot of reading about sliders, motors and controllers and finally came up with my own design. I ordered the stuff from Germany, USA and The Netherlands (pulleys, belt, Igus 10-40 slider and two motors. 1rpm and 81 rpm)
If it al fits together it will sure be the lightest version of a dolly you've ever seen. I am planning on taking it on my travels so it has to be light.
If you are interrested in the partlist drop me a line.
see you
Ron

I am more interested in a pan
I am more interested in a pan and tilt head, but also very confused about what to use for that. I find it very difficult to choose the correct stepper and gears for it.
My biggest project on this site is the MicroEngine that I am still developing. That engine cannot be used for motion control, but it can be used for timelapse sequences that are shot in a studio environment.
I would be very interested to see your dolly! Where are you located?

I live in a small town called Den Dolder. I am still waiting for the gear to arrive. You can visit my website at www.rtjacobs.nl as I will post pictures of the rig I'm building.
I'll keep you posted.
I did some study into what type of motor would be best for any movement (timelapse or real time) and found out that there is not much difference between steppers an DC-motors. The arduino board controls the DC-motor much like a stepper sending high frequency signals to the motor. In my opinion dc-motors are a lot easier in use, cheaper and have enough torque.

Did you get your belt, pulleys from DamemCnC? Of so, do you use their XL037 of t10 belts?

I ordered the belt and pulleys from maedler.de in germany.
The belt has a HTD 3M profile and is 9 mm wide.
The pulleys are about 20 mm wide and have 22 teeth.
