motor for move bewteen 500gr and 4 - 5Kg

Hello,
I need to build a 2 motor system for photo and video, to make timelapses. I mean users connect a camera over a plate over a motor, and program the system to run the motor lets say eg 1 time every 10 seconds an angle of 2º, and to run a second motor to e.g. to travel 1 cm every lets say 1 second.

What kind of motor and power torque is recommended to move or turn (run) the motor to move a: 500gr baseplate plus a camera and accesories of betweenn 500gr and 4 - 5Kg max. weight ?

That depends on the friction in the system - are there linear bearings? How is the rotation
accomplished - without the mechanical linkages and details there's no way to calculate
torques.

hey.. i dont know that tech questions and i think i dont need to contract an engineer for.
I need a motor for a system to love cameras.. something like this

Well that's using what appears to be a simple turntable (stepper motor direct perhaps?),
and a belt-drive or equivalent. I suspect steppers for both would be OK, although the
bearing system for the turntable might need careful design for off-axis and heavy loads.
Vertical axis is easy case as no torque needed to lift anything.

If movement is basically horizontal with reasonable low friction forces something
like 5N ought to be enough sideways force - force = torque / pulley-radius

so.. whar model of stepper motor can i buy for ? please put a link
What driver ? can i use arduino 003 or motor shield. rev3 ?
