Motorized Pan/Tilt

[KingVidiot]

For slowing/speeding up the pan speed could you hook up a much more powerful batt. to the device and use a light switch fader to give it more power slowly as you pan. I sure you would have to make sure you do not turn it up too far because you could blow the motor. Would this work at all? I don't have much electrical knowledge. No one will understand this anyway. Ha.

I own the Bescor, and this is one of the tricks I heard about, although it may shorten the lifespan if you give it too much juice.

Nice info GD! The video is very clear and entertaining with your reactions to the device (e.g. head tilt when tilting).:cheesy:

I'm ashamed to admit I only turned mine on once so far, but you have given me cause to break it out and use it.

Weight seems to make it more stable (less jerky) but it also slows it down and eats-up more batteries... there's always a trade-off. The angle limitations should be offset by the fact that you put it on a crane which also tilts and pans.

Does anyone know what the specs are for the slow pan tilt mod ? i.e. what battery to use ? Which light speed control to use i.e. does the Ikea version work ?

Problem is that the light speed controllers have voltage, current loss which are not noticeable with mains. But with the mA current that batteries come with - not all light speed controllers may work...
