Already started BBW. Have to go shopping for a body builders belt and a couple of pieces I can use for the bearings to slot into at the waistline for the tilt, and a couple of straps to go over the shoulders. It's the motorised pan and tilt that could be a problem. Radio controlled car servos and motors maybe an option. I always wanted to do that on the Kestrel but never got around to it. As for a name, I might steal Alan's suggestion for the Glidecam clone for this one. (Raptor) I'm thinking it would sell on eBay very well.

I am a bit worried the operator will look at total tit though.
