Awesome tracking system you've made there! Do you need to re-calibrate the speed of the motor, etc. for each shot you take? (depending on what direction you are shooting in or something?)

In photo is pretty cool, but the ingenuity astounds me. I cant even fix my door handle and Ive been shown how to do it twice.

great result there Andrew, good to see you willing to share how you did it, with the AP members.

Thanks everyone for the replies... I cannot sell this unit as it is already copyrighted by the company, I could make a modified version, but need to find a micro step stepper motor controller. I have used this for panning in timelapses also, but unfortunately conditions at the time were not perfect, I hope to get out again with it, if the weather/moon cooperates.

Here is a sample of the panning from the device with a timelapse...

That's pretty cool, I've been meaning to have some fun with my old technic leggo and see if I can't dodgy up a panning head for this kinda stuff.
