Auto Pan/Tilt Head

I found this while doing research on a DIY version of Varizoom's zero gravity head:

Later in the thread he posts an impressive video of the thing:

It's a little noisy, but looks to have potential.

Looks really professional. Maybe not s'much a video solution though, it kinda jerks from position to position. I'm still waiting for someone to motorize a dampened head, liek one of the manfrotto HDV units. So the head would keep it smooth, and the motors would manipulate it.
