Built in may 2002, it has been
designed to be a light craddle, with all framing possibilities,
getting advantage of low weight Olympus and its high optical
quality.

- Radio remote control operations:
- pan, tilt.
- frame.
- shutter release.
- Video link.
For Olympus Stylus, or µ2.
The craddle itself weights 320g.
The total weight of the rig is
750g with the suspension, the craddle, the Olympus, and
video.
.
As the radio unit weights itself
160g (battery, receiver, one servo-motor with multi-contactor,
one servo circuit ), I am thinking of another one with a
mini-servo instead of a standard one. Then, using the light
suspension, the total weight will be lower than 700g.
Tit and frame are moved with cog-wheel.
Pan and tit have motors recovered from camcorder zoom. The
frame motor is a mini-servo without electronic.
For size reasons, the video camera
is a C-MO, and is placed under the
camera platform.
