Slide-able mount for an image device

A camera slider for supporting a camera for longitudinal movement, comprising:

• a track assembly, the track assembly including at least a first rail member and a second rail member, the first rail member and the second rail member oriented longitudinally;
• a carriage assembly, the carriage assembly configured for longitudinal movement along the track assembly and including at least:
• a camera mounting plate configured for receiving a removably couplable camera;
• a first roller disposed adjacent to the first rail member, the first roller coupled with a first underside portion of the carriage assembly via a first roller fastener defining a center axis through the first roller, the first roller laterally coplanar with a plane through the first and second rail members;
• and
• a second roller disposed adjacent to the second rail member, the second roller coupled with a second underside portion of the carriage assembly via a second roller fastener defining a center axis through the second roller, the second roller laterally coplanar with a plane through the first and second rail members;
• an endplate disposed at each end of the track assembly and configured for spacing the first rail member and the second rail member at a substantially constant distance apart, the endplate including at least two endplate holes, each of the two endplate holes configured for receiving a rail member of the track assembly;
• and
• four legs, wherein a leg is disposed towards each side of an endplate, each leg including at least a ball at a base of the leg.

• and
• a fourth roller disposed adjacent to the second rail member, the fourth roller coupled with a fourth underside portion of the carriage assembly via a fourth roller fastener defining a center axis through the fourth roller and configured for receiving a hexagonal tool for tightening, the fourth roller laterally coplanar with a plane through the first and second rail members,
• wherein the first, second, third, and fourth rollers are disposed between the first rail member and the second rail member;
• an endplate disposed at each end of the track assembly and configured for spacing the first rail member and the second rail member at a substantially constant distance apart, the endplate including at least two endplate holes, each of the two endplate holes configured for receiving a rail member of the track assembly, wherein a top surface of the endplate is substantially flat in the middle with a raised profile at ends of the top surface of the endplate, the raised profile for accommodating the first rail member and the second rail member, wherein an endplate includes at least one threaded channel disposed through the endplate in a longitudinal direction and at least two threaded channels disposed through the endplate in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction;
• four legs, two legs threadably removably coupled with each endplate, wherein a leg is disposed towards each side of an endplate, each leg including at least a ball at a base of the leg, wherein a height of a leg is threadably adjustable;
• and
• at least one rubber bumper fixedly disposed between the carriage assembly and an endplate.
