I used the Innovision probe on The Thumb Parody series (almost entirely comprised of miniatures) a long time ago, but it worked really well and gave us exactly what we wanted. I liked the fact that it came with interchangeable lenses. It's too cumbersome for handheld shots, but worked great with the camera mounted on a dolly. So I highly recommend it -- if it fits the camera you'll be using. You might also want to look into lipstick cameras, because they fit well into miniature spaces.
