R!MU (Really! Moving Unit) is unit that can be easily installed on different platforms. R!MU supported a scientific field campaign near north pole on board arctic schooner Tara in 2007 and its data was used in study: "Melt pond coverage and temporal evolution at driftin station Tara during summer 2007".

The prototype of our ship camera system was installed on RV Lance for a cruise in the Fram Strait during August and September 2007. The simple system provided photos from more than 90% of the cruise, including several days of photos from the marginal ice zone of Greenland.

The helicopter camera is built for aircraft installation. The casing includes mounts that fit the undercarriage of a Jet Ranger helicopter. The unit was used in SNORTEX campaign in northern Finland. FMI used the images to succesfully derive the Leaf Area Index of boreal forest. See: "Leaf Area Index (LAI) Estimation of Boreal Forest Using Wide Optics Airborne Winter Photos".

The marine research unit of the Finnish Meteorological Institute uses a ship based time-lapse unit to support geophysical studies. The unit is designed for easy installation to different research vessels, such as RV Aranda.
