user5273: I have a Canon EOS 60D camera. I want to use this to take some video by moving the camera smoothly in horizontal and vertical axis. For example, if I want to take video of the bezel of a TV, I'd like to be able to smoothly have the camera move down on the vertical axis with the lens facing the bezel in the same angle the whole time.
Something like this, but not this expensive

Here is an example at 3:40 when the camera man slides through the keyboard horizontally.

Smooth horizontal and vertical camera movement with a Canon EOS 60D camera


Revolve Automated Motion Motorized Dolly + Slider Bundle - U$400
There are 2 motor speed options supporting 6-10 lbs vertically, 15-20 horizontal.
They sell a slider but with accessories you can use 3 to 10 foot pipes. Also available are reversing switches and interval timing for sliding time lapse videos.


Neewer 70in/177cm Aluminum Alloy Jib Arm Camera Crane - U$100

Not motorized and there's a bit of dolly motion along with the pedestal movement, an arc motion, but it keeps the camera level. For distant shots it wouldn't be noticeable.

Compare those to a professional system:

FloatCam DollyCrane SD / DC Slider - U$4400



user2836: Unfortunately, there aren't really cheap options to do this.  You can approximate it using a crane or a stabilization rig (like a SteadiCam Jr), but both of those is still going to cost you hundreds of dollars.  
For horizontal movement, the cheapest option is probably to use a more basic track and roll it by hand.  You can use a motion control unit to get smoother motion, but a motion control unit itself is going to be over a grand normally.  
For pure vertical, you need something called a camera pedestal.  Unfortunately, this is probably the most complex movement to perform in a controlled manner, so there simply are no cheap options.  There are some DIY approaches out there, but you're looking at expensive hardware if you want to do a pure vertical movement with good control.  (The cheapest commercial pedestal I know of is over a grand.)
That is just the way the market is for being able to do advanced moves.  They are all specialized, limited use devices and the cost rapidly multiplies with the weight of the camera.  That's why rigging costs so much, because the market is so limited and specialized.  It requires careful design, tight tolerances and a very limited market, that all adds up to big costs to the consumer.
