Hey everyone!
I have been getting into time-lapse photography lately, but I have grown tired of plain old still time-lapses. I have been brainstorming a design for a dirt-cheap rotating tripod head.
However, I have run into a dilemma: I can't find anywhere a small, inexpensive (I'm talking less than $10) DC motor that is slow enough (<1RPM) for my needs. The motor will be driving a single wheel on the end of a shaft in a circle, which will very slowly rotate my camera on a bearing. I'm hoping to rotate my camera about 2-8 degrees per minute.
Anyone know of an inexpensive smallish DC motor with <1RPM or how I could utilize gears? The torque/power doesn't matter too much, but more would be better (I think).
Thanks!
