Hey folks,
I am going to build a camera dolly similar to the one shown here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_XHxOTnhm8&feature=related
However, I would like to add a motor on one end so that it pulls it via a string at a specified speed. For example, the track is 6 ft long. I would like the motor to complete the pulling of the camera in 3 hours. Yes, you are correct, 3 hours for a 6ft long track. That long and slow.
Problem is, I don't know what motor I need and if there's such a motor like that. I was thinking about a 1 hour kitchen timer but I am not sure if it's strong enough to pull the camera and it's just one hour although I can rotate it again if it finishes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Neil
