Hi,

	I remember seeing a similar question a little while back, but
wanted to post one myself (excuse the repetition):
	
	Does anyone know of a manufacturer of 3 DOF gimbal mechanism?
I have seen a reference to one it a paper, but have never come
across a commercial manufacturer.  I know they exist, but where?  
What type of pointing applications would require the extra (redundant) 
DOF?

	Much appreciated.
