[PSUBS-MAILIST] Manipulator Arm

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

Thanks Vance.
I was thinking of having a long lightweight manipulator with camera
that doubles as a camera mount for filming & periscope for collision avoidance
on surfacing. So a rotator as an add on might make the unit too top heavy.
If I decided on the rotator I would need to beef the whole unit up.
Is the periscope a dumb idea?
Regards Alan

It is nice to have, but you can always add rotation later.
