That is cool. I have been tempted to see if the timer can be disassembled and put together backward so that it rotates clockwise.

>>Nice find

Ha! Someday I'd like to find a GoPro in my camera bag!

These egg timers might be a little ticky.

fun??? uggghh

This is the closes I could find:

Image

Timer on left is the driver unit. Timer on the right is a free spinning empty shell. When the rubber band between them is in a figure 8 it rotates the camera CW The timer on the right could be replaced with anything round and free spinning. And by changing its diameter, it will it will also change the rotational speed of the panning head.

The gear part is easy...finding something to videotape that is the challenge.
