Thinking about it, though, the use of phones and the capacity of a device to control the pan-tilt device it occurred to me that the use of the phone’s GPS may create a way to do the follow me capability of the soloshot device possibly with greater capability. I am pleased that you’re working in this area and also disappointed that there is not greater progress (this is not a criticism of your work but a lament that there has not been more work in this area.) Replyįound your blog searching for a bluetooth controller for the Bescor figuring there has to be a tool out there that allows a wireless control approach for that pan/tilt device. I could see this being very useful with my camtree motorized slider-it would be wonderful to be able to use the bescor on that in concert with a camera in timelapse mode… y=… and let the controller pan and tilt for an hour or so with repeatable results. What a great addition that would be…dial in settings X=. My ears perked up when you mentioned a timelapse option. Your ‘virtual’ joystick is intriguing (as was your other explorations with the hardwired joystick).

The joystick that they use is a fairly rudimentary CTS Series 252 switch…a ‘mini’ joystick…that does not come close to the smooth control offered by the joystick on a Nintendo Nunchuk…but it does work as designed and gives good measure of control. but at 85 british pounds it is not cheap.

Smooth control of the Bescor pan/tilt head, from a standstill to full speed. They appear to have designed a fairly simple circuit that does a decent job of extending the control of the bescor beyond the standard remote. I purchased a joystick from Hague camera, in the UK, and it overcomes all the limitations of the standard remote.
