I came across this site. They sell different kinds of motors. Do you think these have enough torque to revolve the arm with camera and counter weights?Link is here: https://makermotor.com/pn00409-12v-gear-motor-pwm-variable-speed-12vdc-gearmotor/Thanks

Hi Kickargel,That is awesome. Nice work with the gears. The motor is so small but does the job. Thanks for the share.

Aahhh...I see what you mean with the drive wheel, quiet ingenious. So with that there is no need for counterweights?But that would induce noise and vibration. I dont mind using a beefier motor. The arm's revolving movement should be buttersmooth. Excess vibration or bumpy movement would be bad...

Will a DC motor be strong enough to make the arm revolve? There will be couterweight on the opposite end of the arm ( camera in onside...counter weight on the other). Any recommendations for DC motor? Can there be a wired controller to start and stop the motor?It would be great if the RPM was...

Wow, thanks alot for the information and the drawing. But I'm not very technical. I still can't quite understand how the motor will make the arm revolve around the center/subject.Hmmm.... maybe this is beyond my scope. But I understand what you are saying. I will try and translate what you...

Hi Bobgaggle,Thanks for your reply. I see what you are saying. The configuration I explained, same as the device in the picture is for the camera moving around the subject rather than the camera being stationary and the subject spinning. It's a totally different look. However there is a way to...
