Servo motors and motor controllers will not work for this project.
I found a 1rpm dc motor, but I do not know what gearbox I need to use to get an end speed of ~0.5rpm.

A motor speed controller also won't work, because it will take up too much space on the top of a tripod.
I did find a 1rpm dc motor that could be easily geared down, but I don't know...
I need a motor that is going to be able to continuously rotate 360 degrees, so a servo won't work.
A motor speed controller would not be ideal for this project, since this all has to go on a tripod.
I did find a 1 rpm dc motor that I could gear down. However, I don't know enough about gear...
arhi - thank you for your reply! I have been searching for a gearbox that would sufficiently slow down the speed of the motor, but none of them seem to slow it down enough. I am not very experienced with motors/gearing, so I don't really know what to look for.
