Hello Myles, <br /> <br />Here's a picture of the prototype, I'll try and get a few pics of the current model over the weekend [img] http://www.hairyotters.com/Trains/newtraincam.jpg[/img] <br />The prototype revealed problems with the power leads and antenna binding or fouling. The camera base pivot needs to be laterally rigid to prevent wobble yet free enough to rotate without jerkiness. I'll try to take pics that addresses my solutions. <br /> <br />This camera fits well onto a lego worm drive gear box making radio control for 360 panning simple but tilt gets a bit cumbersome. Then came the question of a radio controlled cam car for getting leading or following shots. DCCers already can do this.
