Summary

This is a linear rail for a dslr camera made from 1/8" think laser cut acrylic and some 12mm linear rails/bearings. The hole on the center sliding piece for the camera mount fits a 1/4-20 bolt (standard for camera mounts). If you are planning on mounting this to a tripod the bottom piece should have another layer to it or use some other kind of reinforcement to reduce the slight amount of sag in the middle from the weight from the linear rails. I would have chosen smaller rods/bearings but I already had these. On a table it works fine.

The rails are held on to the baseplate with some 4-40 screws and nuts that go through the orange endplates and the base.

The sliding plates are spaced apart with some threaded nylon hex standoffs that I had available. I can try to hunt down the specifics if requested.
