LOL @ Chris
You can have a heap of fun with the little Cube. I enjoyed pushing mine to it's limits. You'll be able to put your DSLR straight onto it too and grab some excellent wide fields.
ummm have you read the article I wrote about AP with the Cube?
http://www.ioptron.com the images in the article have horrible compression artefacts. I'll try to dig up the originals and post them here.
If, after a while, you find that you want to get "serious" and upgrade, you'll always have it as an excellent little travel mount.
(it's powered with either AA batteries , 12volt power supply or mains)
