GoPro auto-panning rig using a cheap rotisserie motor
Description
I Wanted A Rig To Pan My Gopro Camera While My Band Is Playing Gigs, So Came Up With This Set Of Things To Do That Using A Cheap Rotisserie Motor. I Wasn'T Sure About The Motion Geometry, So I Just Put A Bunch Of Holes Everywhere So I Could Try To Discover A Good Combination That Would Be Smooth And Give Me The Range Of Motion I Could Live With. Some Of The Holes May Be A Little Tight... I Just Drive The M3 Bolts In And Out Until The Plastic Conforms To The Threads. Kind Of A Cheater Technique, I Guess, But It Seems To Work Ok. This Is The Motor I Used: Http://Www.Amazon.Com/Grillpro-60013-Replacement-Rotisserie-Motor/Dp/B0000E2Rh5/Ref=Sr_1_14?S=Lawn-Garden&Ie=Utf8&Qid=1335204205&Sr=1-14 And Here'S A Video Of What The Assembled Thing Does: Http://Www.Youtube.Com/Watch?V=B3Hdgh-5Dp4 I Have This Shown Sitting On A Countertop, But The Bracket Has A Hexnut Location So This Can Be Mounted On A Tripod. Here'S A Short Clip Of What The Panning Motion Looks Like: Http://Www.Youtube.Com/Watch?V=Vvkorj_Iyqa&Feature=Youtu.Be
