Tug - Made for taking photos of club boats
Just fancied doing something different. Started out with a deck mounted small camera and converted it on 27th Nov 2011 to an internally mounted Olympus C7070 camera. Fitted with 2 electric motors to give full manoeuvrability. Lots of small mods but not used during 2013. After lots of try with video decided to try single frame pictures. Decided to keep with still pictures. May 2014 started to rework boat to look more like a tug and decided to rename it - Owner AMD, Operated by ACME STUDIOS, Renamed LILIAN ROSE. Bought a new cheap camara from Tescos so if lost would only lose me £30. Also fitted bigger batteries. Then started selling pictures.

- JediErn🇬🇧Leading SeamanHi, camera is fitted below the bridge and worked by a standard servo pushing down a rod to work the shutter. I normally get about 20 out of a 100 useable pictures. The problem is you cannot see what your taking but if boat is in center or close focusing is ok. its easy if people want their boat photographed because they come to me and I just click away.Like
