pan tilt cam
« on: 19 March 2009, 18:25:57 »
as most of you know ive been looking at building my own holder for a cam so i can control it by turning it and tilting th cam from inside the house

i don't want to pay the prices that they are selling for so i decided to build one
i looked at useing the door miror motor
that works fine but not enough movement

what i was thinking of is 2 small motors
1 motor to turn the cam left and right and 1 motor to lift and drop the cam

just not sure on how i can get around clamping them to a camera and then attaching it to the house wall

any ideas anyone :-/

What about a tilt and pan setup from a motorised satelite dish?

thats what i was just about to say
that would be better as i can use the forward and reverse of the car to turn it left and right and the left and right of the car to tilt it up and down

anybody got a r/c car they don't need
