damn I started looking when I found this post but cant find much info. Saw a review from one on cheesycam which is usually pretty reliable for me but when I looked at the product its discontinued so nothing useful there. Other than that only motorized ones I can find are well over a grand. Maybe you could look into some DIY stuff online, since a lot of things that use high quality motors and computers to control fine movements are probably going to run higher than 300

From last four months I am using Camtree motorized slider for time lapse shooting. I like its quality, price and functioning. It allows me to creatively capture the passage of time with digital camera. It can be used to create amazing visuals which many have or will never see in the flesh. This is a wonderfully professional video technique which anyone can do at really cheap prices. This tool has truly up the production value of shots.
