Digital Bird camera slider vertical base support.

This base allows the digital bird camera slider to be used vertically. There is no kit for this item since there are relativly few parts required and all the componant are readily available online.

The design makes full use of the Digital Bird sliders two gantry sleds with the bottom sled being used to support counter weights. This enable us to lift heavy payloads with exactly the same small nema17 we use for horizontal moves. Because the resultant payload is balanced we remove the risk of the camera suddenly dropping down the rail if for example a battery should fail and we loose power.

There have been a number of small modifications to the slider parts to facilitate this setup.

1) The belt ends should be super glued into the magnetic belt ends as well as using the small screws to secure the belt. This is added security since the loads on the belt ends are much higher.
2) The rail support at the control end has been re-designed to better grip the rail and provide more support to the rail when in a vertical position.
3) The top carrage has an additional small hole for the new 90Deg bracket to prevent it from swivaling arround on the gantry.
4) The battery end center devider has an additional hole in it enabling us to add additional wire supports if required.
5) The shelf has been removed from the control box door and the new door parts included here. This has been done to simplify the shape at the base.

Happy vertical slidding!
