I'm trying to figure out where he keeps the tri/mono pod. Whatevs, I'm selling some stock and plopping 100 grand on one of those bad boys.

In addition the QX-1 body is actually ideally shaped for use in a 'hyperstar' configuration on an SCT, or on Celestrons new RASA. That said, the controls are not yet there for this use case last I checked.

A 70mm image-circle is crying for the 44mmx33mm Sony Exmor used in the Pentax 645z and various over-priced digital backs

While this guy's setup is pretty crazy, the actual Olympus AIR01 camera looks pretty neat. You get a micro 4/3 sensor and SD slot for storage for $290. You just use your phone as a monitor and controls. Given that pretty much everyone has a smartphone you can potentially get a nice camera setup for much less and on top of that have a wireless monitor/controls for it. I'm sure it won't replace everything but not such a bad setup IMO.

That looks awesome! It guides a surface attack missile right? RIGHT?

Ugh, the photo processor in a cell phone can't even take advantage of that.

It doesn't. The phone is just an interface. Everything is in that little attachment on the back of the lens.
