The image here shows the "mighty mini" that Scott Degenhardt has designed. It uses the 50mm lens and housing from half of a 10 x 50 pair of binoculars, with simple plumbing parts and PC164C-EX2 that can be mounted on a small photographic tripod to form a super-compact and easy-to-use asteroidal occultation observing unit (at least for events involving 9th-mag. & brighter stars; with Occular, can probably pull out 10th-mag. events). Showing stars to about 10th mag. over a 3-deg. field of view, the unit is easy to point without the need of any finder scope, just "point and shoot". Except for the camera, the parts are very cheap, only about $30 per unit (also not counting the tripod - but you can get them for about $24; video recorder; and 12-volt battery to power the camera).
