Strange name, but these little guys look like a lot of fun!

Misha My friend has one on these things, they do seem to be fun, hes has produced some interesting results with it. We were laughing about it as it looks a bit like a piece of drainpipe with a lens in it. It can produce a similar effect that you might get it you used a zoom lens and zoomed it on a long exposure. Maybe I will get one and have a play.

"a piece of drainpipe with a lens in it" Looked quite a lot like that to me also. Wonder if I could build one with a body cap, some flexible plumbing, and a cheapie lens? Though cleverness should be rewarded, I think $150 is a bit steep. Sure looks like fun though...

Misha, I think that it probably would be possible to make one, with a bit of determination, at least for a lot less then $150. I dont really know if that is expensive in relative terms, they are about 70 here, which I guess is ok for a toy.
