Hi Willy,

Thanks for the links - stunning panoramics!

I've made a 3m pole from a lighting stand and centre column tripod.
Haven't tried it yet, but will give it a test run today.

I am curious about the cherry picker platform. How did you rotatate
about the NPP? Did you move the camera, or the cherry picker?

Best wishes,
Robert
