This is the inexpensive pan and tilt mechanism from Servo City we talked about today at lunch: http://servocity.com/html/ddt500_direct_drive_tilt.html
I just got around to looking at this Pan and Tilt mechanism and IMO it looks good However the best part about this is, that with even w/ minimal skills it's would be easy for one to replicate themselves, DIY ... ... But then again $24.99usd is a good price if time or lack of time to DIY is an issue After writing the above I got curious then entered 'DIY Pan and Tilt' into Google and was rewarded with numerous links thus idea's to try out ...

I like that one a lot also, but here are some even lower cost units: Hobby King FPV Fiberglass Pan-Tilt Camera Mount L-Size http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__12875__FPV_Fiberglass_Pan_Tilt_Camera_Mount_L_Size_.html FPV Fiberglass Pan-Tilt Camera Mount http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__11442__FPV_Fiberglass_Pan_Tilt_Camera_Mount_.html Hobbyking Y650 Scorpion Glass Fiber Pan/Tilt Camera Mount http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=22802
Hey Yoda yes the Hobby King stuff are certainly cheaper but they don't look as sturdy. I'm sure there good enough for the small pin hole camera's but I need something that will hold a decent size Point'n Shoot Camera securely without bringing vibration issues into it ...
I hear you w00d. I am also really liking the one from Servo City and especially since that guy has it already fitted to his quad so I know it will work.
