  12. Hi,
  13.  
  14.     I remember seeing a similar question a little while back, but
  15. wanted to post one myself (excuse the repetition):
  16.     
  17.     Does anyone know of a manufacturer of 3 DOF gimbal mechanism?
  18. I have seen a reference to one it a paper, but have never come
  19. across a commercial manufacturer.  I know they exist, but where?  
  20. What type of pointing applications would require the extra (redundant) 
  21. DOF?
  22.  
  23.     Much appreciated.
  24.
