i want to build an automatic rail system for my camera for macro photography. I have seen a lot of systems using a stepper motor controlled by an arduino which is then controlled with a computer. Not only is all the circuitry too bulky to be carried into the field also using a computer outside with possible rain sounds like a bad idea. Is there a stepper motor system you guys know of that is:
#1. Strong enough to move a camera with a few accessories attached a few milimeters per second
#2. Have a small enough driver board to be housed in a handheld enclosure
#3. Control it all with handheld controller no bigger than an average cellphone
#4. All together be less than 200 bucks
