Hey guys just wanted to share a couple videos I made. I came up with my own camera slider design and would like to share it. The first video is the actual DIY itself and the second is of test shots with a noise test at the end. Let me know what you think. The first video is a bit long but I try to include as much info as I can that you might need. Oh and this design does not use any felt for sliding, so if you wanna know what I used give it a watch 
.
Just an update, I removed the mystery pex from the inside of the sliding platform. It works great without it! Also, something I tried is I applied "Armor All" original to the broom sticks and buffed it in really well. It now slides like it was on bearings. A simple 10 degree tilt at one end and it easily slides to the other. If I didn't know any better I would say its even quieter as well, very silent.
