hey all,

bit of a long shot but posting on here to help a friend and is sorta related....
he produce DSLR kit and wants to create like a remote camera mount thats either motion or controlled via controller.

idea being so that you can create a time laspe but have the camera move via a remote or set programmed sequences via a unit that helps it rotate.

somthing like this really....http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/syrp/genie-motion-control-time-lapse-device

any list of people who may be able to make such a thing post away...

Sounds like good stuff, a step up from this (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GoPro-Camera-Timelapse-360-rotating-Panning-Egg-Timer-Mount-Stand-Tripod-fit-/110859657987?pt=UK_Tripods_Monopods&hash=item19cfc02303#ht_927wt_1187) I just love the idea :D. But with remote control, possibly in two directions. I am looking for a simple light dslr mounting for tracking stars, more precise control, camera taking long exposure shots of the same square of sky (not time laspe), but sometimes just star trails with a bit of controlled panning (time lapse). Astrotrac (http://www.astrotrac.com/) and some of the smaller telescope mounts (http://www.365astronomy.com/skywatcher-acuter-merlin-multifunction-motorised-mounttripod-p-2321.html?zenid=01c2496e97062a9008931026d9e1b33c) do it, something hand luggage size and very cheap tho for me.


Edit; looking at the telescope mounts again, the merlin type are very popular with the timelapse folk, fitted with a bluetooth plugin control is then from a laptop, phone or pad. Have also seen the start of apps to control mounts and camera, interesting.
