Hello, I'm new here. Happy new year!! I have been reading some threads on the forum and there is alot of good information and advice so I decided to post here for information. I hope this is the right place.
I want to make a diy version of Orcavue's orbiting camera rig. You can see their product here. http://www.orcavue.com/orcavue-xl/#xl

They no longer sell and only rent it out. I am in Africa and will use it for an extended period, renting is out of the question and beyond my budget.
The arm will rotate around the center platform/stage. The speed at which the arm revolves around the center is approximately 15 rpms.
The cameras to be attached may weigh up to 15 lbs. ( This is an approximation). But it could be as small and light as a smartphone.
What I really want to know is what type of motor might be suitable to rotate the arm which on one side has the camera attached and counterweights on the other.
How would the motor be installed in order to revolve the arm around the center.
Thanks
