Questions & Answers
marko s : how much is the speed of turning?ESTEBAN E : There is a setting that allows you to set the speed anywhere between slow and extremely slow. Without actually timing it and just going from memory I would say it takes about 5 seconds to turn 180 degrees at its fastest setting. That being said, it's fast enough for most camera moves on our jib.KEVIN B : there is only one speed. It moves about 6-7 RPM. there are also 2 motors we found out One that only goes 90degrees and one that goes about 340 degrees, with switches at 90, 180.
we used it for a simple remote controlled camera for music videos. Move cameras to a position, , THEN take the shot and use the camera zoom for effects. The Pan function can work for live shots just after you start up motor, but shakes a little at start up. It's primary use is for a Security camera.RAYMOND E : The speed is variable. There ls a slider speed control on the corded controller. I leave it on the slow side.JOSEPH B : This unit turns slowly and smoothly and the speed of turn is adjustable through a sliding switch on the wired controller.

bescor(dot)comJOHN N : The head turns very slow. There is a speed control but the fastest speed setting is still pretty slowJASON J : It's variable speed. I can't think of anything you would shoot that this wouldn't go fast enough.JASON G : it is adjustable in both manual or auto mode
Bruce Z : I'm most concerned about motor noise as this will be used within about 6' of an audience. Any comments on noise level or opinions on whether this would distract would be appreciated?RAYMOND E : unit is very quiet. You should not hear any unless your head is up against it.NEXGEN L : I haven't noticed any noise that would "bother" anyone. I've used the unit on a 4' and 8' jib and maybe if I paid close attention... in short it hasn't been an issue for me.GERARDO A : It is very silent.JASON G : it is very quiet in fact i have for gotten to turn it off on occasion but you can ajust the speed in witch it pans i dont think it would be a distraction at all i have loved mine from the get go and have found it to just plain awsomeBruce Z : Thanks for your comment.

Very helpful!!Bruce Z : Thanks for your comment. Very helpful!!ARTISTICVISUALS A : Great equipment. Had this for several years now and never had any issues with it. As far as noise, it's as quiet as can be ( at least from my experience ) .DENNY S : Noise is not a issue. Virtually none. Great product and a price you can't beat.ESTEBAN E : motor noise is minimal. I can't even think if it makes any noise at all really. We use these on live sets and the noise is not picked up be the mics about 10 feet away.JOHN N : There is a small amount of motor noise. I dont believe it is enough to distract anyone but it is there. MICHELE C : You will be fine. it's really really quite. Definitely more distracting will be for them to see a camera turning by itself ;-)JOSEPH B : There is not much motor noise that would distract an audience so close to the vicinity of the device. However, if you plan to record audio you might want to consider an off-camera microphone.EVAN D : These are VERY quiet. I use 16 of them to shoot orchestra concerts where they have VERY sensitive microphones to record the musicians, and it's never been an issue. An on-camera mic will possibly pick up the sound of the motor, so you should plan to use external mics, but other than that they are very quiet and really work well for the price.NIKITA A : No worries about noise here. You won't here a thing in person or on video.MARK C : Low noise, not too noticeable.LUIS F : Yes there is a lightly noise but it doesn't distract or call others attention
Ricky C : Does this mount to ALL Pro tripods or only just the Bescor brands?LUIS F : All kind of tripods, atleast I been using on most pro And consumer, JASON J : I fasten it to a 6' jib with a bolt and put camera on top. Pretty sure it will fit any quick release plate you can use the larger threaded bolt. That is how I use it on manfrotto 701TIM M : Has an industry standard 1/4" hole.GREGORY T : Using a Sony tripod and it works fine.
