Thanks for uploading this! Did you ever find out what the monster was btw?

Impressive. I’d love to attempt a DIY shuttle like this.

Very cool video. I can’t help but wonder though that the whole camera rig is ultimately supported by just that rubber track material when it’s elevated 45 degrees up?

It’s really cool to see this in action. I know the Tom at Timescapes.org, MiLapse and Philip Bloom have all been using variants of this Kessler Oracle motor drive system for their timelapses. Very slick tech at a very reasonable price point (compared to the custom-engineered rigs used on Planet Earth and other similar projects).

I’d never thought of painting my living room chroma key green before. That seriously would make at-home studio work a lot easier…
