I need a motion control unit that can pan / tilt (would be good if it would do both over a few hour period) for use outside with the HVX200.

I found this online: http://www.b-hague.co.uk/pan__tilt_power_head.htm It is right at the weight limit but the company replied and said it would work (of course).
I would probably remove the battery and have the camera running off main power.

I would like to be able to set it up and walk away, no baby sit it!! Anyone any experience with this or offer any other good suggestions???

Thanks

I would check this out. http://www.flex-cam.com/Turret.html The picture on this link is not that great but I friend of mine used it on a shoot. I don't think it can time lapse for a day but I know you can set the pan to take about 5 minutes to complete a 360. He used it on a crane, tripod and even mounted it to the case it came in for low shots.

Thanks, both options are unfortunately above budget right now, might have to rent one or wing it with a cheap and cheerful motion head......
