Now that´s a pretty smart idea. The moving counterwight solves a lot of comon slider problems.

I was checking out the videos of the floatcam and it really looks very versatile. It looks like a very well made piece of equipment.

About $4600.00 without a head or stand.

If you look closely it is 2 igus rails bolted to a stick of 80/20....
Something to think about.
I'd like to find those wheels somewhere though.

Since Igus is all about customer support, maybe just call them and find out if they know the other parts...

Yeah would be great to build one! Actually been checking igus website and found this http://www.igus.com/wpck/default.aspx?Pagename=N09_5_12_WJRM&CL=US-en they now making this hybrid bearings.
However I didn't like how it bounce @3:06–3:10 of the top video, seems a bit shaky to me…

igus Hybrid bearings have been around for over a year now...and I've tested & retested, but, sad to say, they aren't very smooth. The rollers are a hard plastic, have a bunch of play in them, are on the SIDE of the glideblock (designed for hanging doors) and have a 'bump' in them as they roll. You have to mount the glideblock sideways on the rail if you wnat the roller to ride on the top of the rail... then there's a big lump on top and would require a completely redesigned carriage plate.
