Any slide bar should do it.  What is the maximum shift you will
like to have?

The Bogen bar (I still have a few in stock) should be a very good
choice.  You can mark the sliding plate with dots and then, very
quickly move the bar along the sliding plate by stopping at the
marks and firing the picture.  I dare say that even a live (patient)
subject can be photographed this way (if they can stay still for a
few seconds...)  (The maximum shift for the Bogen bar is 80 mm)

Take care,
