    Thanks Greg. Yes, its completely manual and its impossible to move perfectly smooth. I've seen some other designs that use a threaded rod/crank/dial type device to move the slider part. I think those would work better. The Canon 7D being light helps in some ways, but I still struggle to make a 2'-3' slide with no speed changes along the way.

    Thanks Michael. I have shot ALOT of footage in my life, been at it over 20 years! Once you get a handle on the basics of a camera (exposure, focusing, etc) they are all pretty similar. This one was similar to my EX/Letus combo which I have been using for over a year now.

    I read manuals and trade mags for "fun" at bedtime too! :) Can never learn enough about your tools of the trade.

    Thanks for the kind words.

    Thanks Avey! Good to hear from you again. I'll keep checking your page to see if you get some vids posted with your 7D. I think you'll really like the images it's capable of. Takes some getting used too, especially with not having Zebras for exposure. I usually stick my hand into the frame to see if it's blooming or not before rolling.

    Cheers!
