[HATS] Re: A camera mount - YES - but...

[Andrew MacAllister]

Hi,

Unfortunately the elevation part of the system is mechanically difficult to
work with (attach to) when using anything external to the housing, however
there are bound to be some elegant solutions, or you can dispense with cam
elevation, and mount the cam just for azimuth, while still having both AZ
and EL on the light.

Most of the unit turns for azimuth, but only the light assembly area rotates
for elevation, and it is "semi-surrounded" - note the limited range on EL.
I would like to see a simple, effective solution even though I don't really
want a rotating light.

How about leaving the light bulb in and fasten a small weatherproof
bullet camera on the top of the light housing?  This way you can have a
camera that will work (depending on the lux sensitivity of your camera)
at night.
