[Konvas] motorized pan head (off-topic)

[Sean McVeigh]

Hey all,
I finally got around to assembling the mechanicals for the motorized  
pan head that I'm building.  It's designed to run at very slow speeds  
for timelapse work, astrophotogaphy, etc.  Has a 72:1 gearbox which  
will be coupled to a stepper motor and driven by a microcontroller so  
it can be programmed for match-moves, ramps, etc.  Estimating  
materials will come in somewhere between $100-$200.  Fun project.

check out a short video here:

Cheers,
Sean
