Re: Remote Pan Tilt heads

I've been thinking of the same thing and those two pan and tilt heads are the ONLY two in a reasonable price range, from there it goes into thousands of dollars...
I've seen the Bescor in operation in a theatre where they tape the show and they ran wires with an led on the end and taped it to the infared input of the camera so they could control the zoom. The pan and tilt, of course, is wired.
The Sunpak uses infared as the remote control. My proplem with infared is reliability and distance. If you try to use infared remote control in a building lighted only by florsent lights it won't work as the florsent lights interfere with the infared transmission!
Still I'm thinking of using the sunpak and a infared repeater to get the distance I need. I already use a Elite Video Long Distance runner to get my video signal back to my location where I have the mixer.

: I've been thinking about a remote pan/tilt head to use on a 3rd camera. It's really a back-up and I don't plan on constant adjustment during a ceremony but it would be nice to move the camera just enough to get proper framing.
: Since I'm thinking about putting it on the opposite side of the church, I will need some sort of remote control. Well here is the real question; I've been looking at the Bescor 101 and the Sunpak 200. The cost is about the same but the Bescor uses a hard-wire control while the Sunpac has a wireless IR control. Anyone have experience with either of these? I'll either use it with a TRV 900 or VX2000.
