Where precision and control are paramount in capturing the perfect shot, the MP-101 Motorized Pan/Tilt Head with D-Tap Power Adapter and RE 20' Remote Extension Cord kit is your ideal companion. This comprehensive kit includes the MP-101 motorized pan and tilt head, a user-friendly wired remote control, an RE 20' remote control extension cable for extended reach, and a D-Tap power cable that conveniently powers the unit via a D-Tap source.The MP-101 Video Motorized Pan Head stands out with its dual-mode operation - Auto Pan Mode or Remote Control. In Auto Pan mode, the unit offers continuous horizontal panning motion of +/- 30Y, +/- 60Y, or =/- 90Y, easily set by a selector switch. This feature provides a smooth, automated panning motion, perfect for capturing panoramic views or tracking moving subjects.For more hands-on control, the remote operation mode comes into play. This is facilitated by a detachable remote control unit, included in the kit, with a 3-foot cord. The remote unit features a four-way direction control button, activating right/left pan motion up to 90 degrees each way, as well as up/down tilt motion to +/- 15Y maximum. This allows for precise control over camera movements, ensuring you capture your subject from the perfect angle.Adding to its functionality, the remote also includes a Variable Speed control. This feature allows continuous speed adjustment for horizontal panning and vertical tilt movements, providing the flexibility to adapt to any shooting scenario.The MP-101 Motorized Pan/Tilt Head is powered by AA batteries (not included) and is compact in size, measuring 53+4 x 41+2 x 4". Despite its lightweight design at 27 ounces, it can accommodate cameras with a maximum weight of six pounds, making it a versatile addition to any videographer's toolkit.

Very practical tool for simple pan and tilt movements.  I attached mine to a motorized slider to get a larger range of motion.  Motor noise isn’t loud enough to effect your videos.

Affordable tool for precise movements.

Product was fine, the Adorama sales team has suffered greatly from the effects of the pandemic.
They sent the wrong model (don't have anything the DTap cord will fit) then charged me for making the correction by sending me the correct power adapter. Four phone calls later, they agreed that I should not be charged for the missing piece, but still have not seen the refund.

Good product, customer service has been hampered by the virus.

Effective, lightweight and does what it’s supposed to do.

Nice!

1 Stop shop spot

It's tricky to use this at cross angles but once you get it figured out, it's great. You can plug it in or use 4 AA batteries and the batteries seem to last a very long time. My only gripe is that it isn't slow enough. So if you record a lot of video then shoot at 60p or 120p and slow it down in post.

Smooth motion even at 45 degrees.

I have used these pan/tilt units for about 7 years now. I used them with their remotes, built remotes of my own, and recently gutted several of them and built my own speed control and remotes with Arduino Unos.
I would recommend them highly and they work well and last pretty well too.
My only gripe has always been the remote, it is basic enough and for most it will be enough. I remotely control these PT heads and also cameras and need a more controllable and robust means to do so. anot build my own. 
For the money, it is well worth checking out!

Good overall item

I am surprised it doesn't cost more. It is larger than expected and it had no problem handling my spotting scope. I do a lot of wildlife photography and was tired of fighting my tripod and missing shots. it is easy to use. There is a slight amount of drift after you release the remote control button.

Better than I expected. I'am suprised.

I use this with an outside web cam to watch deer feeding in my back yard.  So, It's outside and subject to weather.  I have taken steps to protect it from that, but it is obviously not designed for what I am using it for.  Only glitch so far is in the placement of the power and remote cables.  They stick out enough I had to tape them up to keep them from restricting rotation.  But that is because of the way I have them mounted.  A few inches should be enough to let it travel.  Otherwise, I think it will do what I wanted.  Not like I move it around much.  But sometimes the FOV with the camera needs a "touch up" in direction and vertical movement.

Works as expected

quality product

I can use three video cameras from the mixer for a full theater production with limited cameramen.  It has good movement for pan and tilt.  They should add the lanc controls for remove of the zoom on the cameras.  The remote head should have at least a 20 foot cable, the short cable where you can still touch the camera, is not "remote", that is why I bought two 50' extension cables.

remove control

Easy to setup and use right out of the box. No problems with adjustments and it has been very dependable. No big battery drain. I really enjoy using the pan/tilt for unique photo and video opportunities. I added a large magnet to the base and attached it to my sidecar. The remote works very well and it is a fun piece of equipment to use with my various cameras.

Bescor Video Motorized Pan/Tilt Unit

Uses AC to DC adaptor that comes with unit.
I use in our small Church to follow the Pastor from about 25 to 30 foot. The Further away the subject the quicker the pan & tilt in the field of view. I personally would like even slower settings to follow objects along way off while zoomed in.It's alittle too quick even on slowest setting unless you are close to the subject.

AC to DC Adaptor

Great item, made our video production GREAT

Made our Production GREATER

I bought this for my church because we record our services and they are shown on a local cable channel.  We pan across the choir while they're singing.  I find the speed of the pan on the lowest setting is still too fast.

Great Product!

just starting out in photograpy - Used this for my panoramic shots

excelent product but affordable ...

I like the product but it is a little bit too noisey when it reaches the max points while in auto-rotation.  The unit seems solid but I do hear a little grinding sound occasionally.  If you are going to record audio from the camera attached to this unit, it may be a problem.  For what I am using it for, it does the job very well.

Motion Good, sound bad.

Great for repositioning camera before camera takes.  A bit jerky at start and end  of pan & tilts so not best for on-air moves.  I use it for multi camera shoots to pan and tilt camera remotely when I am doing large live events.

Does the job!

I use this product on a tripod with a camcorder as an end zone camera for a football team.  Works great!

Good Value

For multi-camera video tapings with limited camera help.
Great price for this product.
