How to make a DIY DSLR Camera Slider Under $8

Here's a DIY DSLR Camera Slider I made for under 9 dollars with parts I picked up from the Home Depot. I got the main idea from Film Riot's idea, then tweaked it to need less tools for assembly.

Here's Film Riot's Video:

Keep in mind, the footage at the end IS jumpy. But, it was taken right after I put the slider together and... it's an $8 build. I could've taken it in and warp stabilized the footage, but that really wouldn't have been an accurate representation of how the slider truly functions.

Much of it is explained in the video, but here's a parts list for those of you who are interested. Everything can be found at the Home Depot. Provided they still stock these items when you see this. :)

2 pcs - ½ inch conduit. (Cut to desired length)

4 pcs - ½ inch Electrical Metallic Tube (EMT) Set-Screw Connector. (I found 5 pack that was pretty cheap)

3 pcs - Plastic electrical outlet box. With ½ inch holes.

1 pcs - Electrical outlet box cover.

About 12 pcs of velcro, cut ¼ inch wide, ½ inch long.

1 pc - ¼ inch 20 thread count screw.
