Unfortunately all earth straps are new, starter motor mounting faces are clean, battery is brand new. Just typical Renault quality, I went through 6-7 in about 15 trackdays with them not being able to cope with the heat, its only a 10 minute job to change through the top.
All the clips were done as individual shots, then imported into After Effects for editing as a sequence..

Yeah, plenty of ways of doing it. All depends on type of motor, gearset, rail etc. Worm drive on a DC motor are the most powerful and can hold a LOT of weight, as they cant freewheel backwards if they loose power. I only used a belt to give precise accurate movement with the stepper - can run it...
Just uploaded a couple of photos if they are of any use to anyone. This is a Continental HTD (5mm Tooth, 9mm Width) Timing Belt, a 24 tooth pulley and two idlers (removed from an LTO Tape Drive).

Cool. I nearly didnt bother with Arduino, could have just created a simple PCB and controlled the driver/shutter from USB to a laptop and write the software there, but saves lugging it around. Plus the Arduinos are dirt cheap and have thousands of libraries ready to use!
Yeah ML. Its very good, especially for video focusing and every other function it adds!
Sorry only just seen the replies.
I'm running an Arduino UNO R3, with a 16x2 LCD and 6 push buttons (L,R,U,D,Select,Reset)
Using a 2A Stepper Motor Driver with 1/16th Microstepping support (200step motor...
Yup, same IGUS rail on that one too. Hes using a servo instead mind. I went for a stepper so I could microstep it with a driver and get 3200 steps to a single revolution
Indeed... this cost less than 1/5th of the price mentioned, took a few hours to cut/drill/bolt things together. I'm using it for both video/timelapse, settings via a small LCD. All runs from a 12v battery. The below is just doing video, timelapse does move-shoot-move to whatever the user...
Its been off for a while - the only useful thing was the part numbers, prices were from years ago (not had a clio for 2 years). I can put it back up sometime if part numbers are of any use.
Just got rid of my 40D for a 5DMk2. Used lots on the 40D in the past 4 years, 300 f2.8s, 70-200 f2.8s etc.
Using 50mm 1.8 on the 5D at the moment, its nice. Picked it up for £70.
Much prefer full frame now, although from a budget point of view its not good!
The 100mm f2 and 28mm f1.8 are...
You'l need the right length belt also. There are other ways of doing it, like using Mk1/Volvo brackets with the right alternator (usually a lot cheaper than cup brackets).. There is quite a bit on here about those
Are you using an alternator mounting that allows tension to be set? Or have you just removed the power steering and air con pumps from the original brackets?
Well considering ones without the extra mounts/waterproof case (60quids worth) go for that, not at the moment sorry!
Yeah by USB. I've got an official Contour Car charger though, which is the only one that lets you charge and record at the same time. This will be included in the sale. :)
See...
Was good fun until I got bored of how easy it was to drive!
Link works OK for me?!
I've watched a number of them go on eBay with similar accessories for the prices mentioned in the listing. Feel free to make me an offer!
