Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] my optronic mast idea with sketch

"The lines of sight of the cameras are stabilized in elevation and azimuth
by means of gyroscopes", ref

http://www.zeiss.com/c1257088004a21ca/Contents-Frame/cc35c2e09e7b1f9ac1257125004015d5

I had the impression that the above statement referred to stabilize the
cameras, and not the observer.

So, if things also are the way you're saying, then even a usable optronic
mast would be far more complicated to copy, and build myself :)

Best regards,
