As a footnote the RedCat Ver 1.5 is now out...it has few refinements and now allows precise squaring-on adjustments of the camera.

There is also a limited edition "SpaceCat" (same as V1.5) but with a Gun metal grey finish and a SpaceKitty logo and carry bag..Might even know a dealer who has them in stock for $1500 or so
