Thank you so much for the prompt reply, so I suppose you tailor made the middle column with the some bearing and bolts, it’s a shame that I don’t have access to a work shop for any tools other than my bare hands

So I think I will continue with the vslot method but bringing the external rod on top of the base plate of the head, creating a angled rail system

As for the rotating mechanism I think I will buy some ready made rotating disc for furniture with bearing integrated then mount a vslot plate on top with the rail system

I’m sorry if I’m not articulating very clearly as I don’t really have too much of an idea too

Was hopping that your middle column is an easier option but it seems like it is being my ability

Thank you so much for your response after all these years much appreciated

Hi i have been trying to work on a similar project as the one you have done, i have gotten it to move linearly with a nema 17 motor and i want to apply the same mechanism as yours for the panning, however i am unsure what part you have used for the rotation part, could you please advise me on that? if you are interested i can also post my project progress with you, but to be fair i didn’t start the project from scratch but from a edelkrone knock off slider and 3D printed housing for the motor and arduino system that i created for this project
