"Danchoslider"
This is the perfect slider for your dslr for doing shorter dollymoves with your camera at a very low cost.
The items are not that hard to find. What you have to do is drilling some holes so it fits your tripod and your hdv head. I call it the "Danchoslider"
The idea emerged from the product called glidetrack that Phillip Bloom is using in his shortmovie "skywalker range".
Fabulous movie, watch it if you got the time.

What you need is following
Igusrail 0,5 metre "drylin ws-16-60, 500mm" about 50 dollar
and the drylin plate "drylin ww-16-60-10" about 60 dollar
I found it from www.collycomponents.se in Sweden
Tools you need
a drill for making the holes
a 3/8 bolt to fit with your hdv-head
a 3/8 threadtool after you drilled the hole at the plate.
I threaded the wholes on the side of the rails as well
creating stops for the plate.
The legs were bought at biltema in sweden.
I also added a pair of dirt cheap legs!
