The inspiration for this project came from watching allot of downhill biking videos , and wondering how the amaeture video/photographers got such smooth shots. After some research a tripod mounted sliding camera rig was the source of the videos/pictures. So heres how to build one. It is a relatively cheap project ($20ish) if you have the camera and the tripod.

Signing UpStep 1: Materials
3 feet of thin wide wood (4x1) (6x1) not sure exactly what my specs were but it was cheap ($1.50)
6 feet of pvc pipe (.75") (or if your local harware store is sold out and has been for 2 month 3/4 inch wooden dowel)
4 pvc T connectors (cut off on the top of the T is best as it allows for easy detachment)
handful of screws
4 caps for the T connectors
A piece of wood about 6"x4" (or just 4x4 if you have cut-off T connectors)
a 1/4 inch bolt that will go through the 4x4 piece of wood and still have enough left over to screw into the camera
TOOLS:
drill
saw
1/4 inch drill bit

Besides, to take panoramic you must not slide the position of the camera, only the angle.
I did an instructable about it, http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-3D-photovideo-fotovideo-3D-casero/ maybe you can learn a bit of the matter.
Yeah we might try this with a couple of go-pro's if we do I'll update the final step.
