I have also some small cameras that could be rotated in its horisontal
position within a suitable, small tubular 'glass' housing, but I assume
when you add on some high quality optics with mechanical, remote focus and
zoom... then things tend to grow a bit in overall size. That was at least
the reasoning behind my idea, as presented in my previous mail.
However, please do tell me about any smaller, alternative components you
see fit to use.
Best regards,
Jens Laland
** Thanks Jens,
** I think Franks got me convinced with the camera idea.
** They just keep getting smaller, cheaper & more powerful.
** Maybe place a small motor under the camera to turn it within
** the housing. Then it would be just a matter of wires through the
** housing & hull. You could fix it on a removable rod.

must also take due note of some spectacular errors that have been made in
the past:
