    Hello. I amm looking into developing a Moco and time laps slider at length of 2 and 3 meters travel that can either support from DSLR to Epic range, together with Moco and time laps software.
    Specs.
    Triggering DSLR TO EPIC.
    Zero back lash drive stepper motor system
    cameras up to 12 kgr
    Moco and time laps software very easy to use
    Running on windows environment
    USB Joystick(WIRED OR WIRELESS) or encoder inputs or programing.
    6 axis of motion control for addition of remote head.
    one piece 2-3 meters ( longer lengths up to 6 meters on special order)super rigid and light weight
    mounting hardware for either tripod heads or lighting tripods.
    Under slung or over or horizontal vertical positions
    Price in the range of 5000 euro.

    If you are interested in this drop me a few lines, also according to demand if there is enough interest price can be lower.

    THANKS

    If you are early enough in development, you should really consider alternate control methods than Windows based.
    RED has strongly implied that they are working on apps to control the EPIC via iPad. If you were to do the same, I'm sure you would attract a much larger pool of interested buyers.

    Hello Brian. As far as I know so far all the known up to date systems run on windows environment, none on Mac.
    ILM some time in the past tried to do this with Mac and after spending a fortune of many 0000000 failed.
    We will have to see about controls of functions of Epic once it comes out.
    Iam very sure that I can control run camera on Epic.
    On DSLRS I can have this and shutter control.

    Thanks

    If possible code it on Linux so it could be ported to low power portable devices easily.
    I wouldn't want to have to have a power hungry laptop to run it in the field if a Pocket PC would suffice.

    I will look at this. But you can either run the system on battery or a/c power, I quess for long running time you need AC power so no problem there powering a lap top.
    But I will look at this. Another thing is that you will have to have a screen to view clearly the software environment I am not quite sure how well you can have this on a pocket screen.
    Can please people who are interested on this email me so I can send you direct info and also suggestions would be nice since Iam doing this from the start.
    Thanks
