Rhododendron time-lapse

Common in adverts but never used for natural history before, the motion control system (MOSYS) allowed simultaneous panning and time-lapse. Laser readings of the movement and tilt are cross-referenced in a computer head to record the camera's position to the nearest 1/10mm. Its 85kg weight means road access to the location is vital.
