ISO someone who can design a robotic tripod head.

Hi,

My first post here. I have been looking all over for a gear head... a
robotic or remote controlled tripod head that a 7-pound camera can be
mounted on. I am not a techhie of any sort, so please bear with me.

I've been looking for something I can screw onto a tripod, in which the
head can rotate and raise and lower, in which the speed of rotation can
be as slow as one revolution per day.

Ive looked at robotics kits, the Lego Mindsprings (someone actually
designed a kit that turned on the horizontal axis only) and other kits,
but haven't found anything that can do quite what I hope (which is to
shoot time lapse movies where there is smooth camera movement in both
horizontal and verticaal axis).

One other thing Ive considered as well is a rover type robot that can
move just as slowly, like 10 feet per hour or so... where I can mount
the robotic tripod head on it and let it run. I guess battery operation
is all but a must.

Anyway, if anyone can create a unit such as this, wow. My head is
swimming in the terminology like worm gears and planetary gears and
stepper motors and all.

If anyone can guide me in the right direction, please email me at

Thanks so much.
