Control the Beast

There has to be a way to control the camera (on the gymbal posted earlier) when it's out on the jib, or on the wire. So, I gutted an old Futaba "Super Seven" transmitter for the brains, a TV from the local "one stop shopping" store, some anodized aluminum & plastic clad fiberboard, a hinge and bolts from the hardware store, and eureka! A control station for the DP.

The idea is a suitcase like thing that protects the controls and monitor in transit and that opens up on arrival, ready for use.
