[Noisebridge-discuss] Looking for Gigapan

[Mark Cohen]

Hey Don,

Is that the device that requires the user to have a PocketPC?

As for gigapan, I've not personally used one, but a friend of mine  
does quite regularly. He had problems with the gigapan in sub freezing  
temperatures and had to make an insulator for it. (The gearing got  
gummy and he could hear the cogs grind) From that knowledge, I would  
probably recommend Don's mount over the Gigapan for any temperature  
critical areas. (Joshua Tree gets COLD at night I hear) :)

On a side note, the guy who does the Gigapan was absolutely NO help to  
my friend. So I tend to avoid them. JMHO.
