Bescor MP-101 motorized pan tilt head review

Bescor MP-101 Motorized pan tilt head review : A cheap solution for lighter cameras working in the field.

[@claudio.carrasco]

Thanks for the review. For $79 today at B&H... I'll give it a try.

[@BenHecht]

Can this be powered on from the remote? Perhaps while plugged in. It's going to go on topof a tall van

[@BluePacificMedia]

No I don’t think so…pretty old tech now

[@myownalias]

Thanks for the review; really helpful. I am a real estate photographer and want to branch out into video production and this looks perfect for me; the speed looks like it would work great from 90° corner pans of rooms. A lot of "budget" powered pan heads have a minimum of five minutes to complete the pan; which is way too long for real estate, I want each pan to be no more than 15-20 seconds and the MP-101 looks like it achieves that for a little over $100.

[@BluePacificMedia]

Jason Lewis I would actually look at the Syrp genie mini also, better panning tech

[@samsen3965]

This clip was made long back. But what about Software control via smartphone and App? Is it something that is now available and not then and is it something that can be added to any older model?

[@BluePacificMedia]

Thanks for watching, sorry to say i sold this unit a few years back…so many options now that have remote connections.

[@version2media]

how long is the remote cord? i'm trying to put this pan head on a 12ft. pole, is there an extended remote cord?

[@mru02227600]

Did you find the extended remote cord? How did this item work for you?

[@TechLineHD]

Fantastic review, thank you. This is a great product. Actually, I found the same head made by Hague, but looks identical to it (probably came out from the same factories under different brands). Can you recommend any alternatives for it ? Thanks.

[@tbgtom]

I just got this and it's going to be great for our church service videos to pan left and right... but I'm finding that the slider for speed does nothing. No apparent change in speed whatsoever.

[@BluePacificMedia]

Thank you for watching, it should work for the speed, perhaps the unit is faulty.

[@ajminter11294]

Im thinking about getting this for our church as well. Is there any delay in response as far as you can tell?

[@BluePacificMedia]

Tony J Minter honestly I haven’t used it in quite a while, but i don’t recall there being any delay issues

[@tbgtom]

@@ajminter11294 I just ordered a second one and the speed dial on the remote works really well on the second one. I'm going to try the remote on the first unit to see if it's just a bad remote on the first unit. But it works GREAT for church services.

[@sheldonnorton9035]

Very helpful! Cheers On sale for $79 today at B&H Ordered!

[@denzelshakurtucker9453]

how is it?

[@CraigMole]

Thanks so much for this. Do you have any recommendations for a time lapse panning device?

[@BluePacificMedia]

Thank you for watching...Syrp timelapse gear is the best for the price

[@ShippingHarbors]

Will this support a 7lbs Canon EOS70D with Sigma 50-500 lens? The specifications say it will support 6lbs, but will that 1 extra lbs make a difference?

[@RotaryMadness]

Great review = is there a smaller option (overall size) on the market that has same quality and features for a handy cam unit ?

[@erickbueza]

2:14 4 Double A batteries Bro. Nice review. I might consider buying. Thanks.

[@BluePacificMedia]

Thanks for watching, it's a little old hat now...I would look at the syrp genie 2 instead...bit more pricey but way better.

[@erickbueza]

Syrp Genie is the better option. I had gone back reassessing my needs and comes down to a Slider and Pan combo. I’ll be checking around for the best that I can buy for under 400$. Would really appreciate it if you can recommend one. Thanks.

[@AnmarAbdulJawad]

Informative video! Getting mine tomorrow to help out with my tech videos. Do you happen to know the aspect ratio of the letter boxing on this video? I'm not entirely happy with regular 16:9, I want to slap on some thin widescreen bars but not as big as 2.35:1. Thanks, Anmar

[@ovalwingnut]

Great description & demo. Good camera presents to boot. Thank you 👍😎

[@CarstenReisinger]

Thanks for this review. You addressed everything that I could think of! Well done.

[@CrystalClearNM]

what Carsten said...you made my choice a no brainer, thanks!

[@franknew9200]

Thanks for the review. Can l mount it on ceiling upside down? Need one

[@CrystalClearNM]

thanks, you helped me decide...should be here next week : )

[@MarcoProvaTutto]

Nice! Did you do any footage with it?

[@raredreamfootage]

can you program a preset sequence of pan/tilt movements and have it repeat?

[@jdstewart9689]

DO THEY MAKE ONE FOR HEAVIER CAMCORDERS? 10-15 LB?

[@BangForYourBucks]

Great review. I'm thinking of getting one, How is it holding up? do you recommend me buying this?

[@mali5591]

hi any sample footage, as I want to use this to my crane Hauge k10 crane.. will this work? as currently all I can do is tilt up and down

[@BluePacificMedia]

Mo Me I have been using the Syrp Genie mini lately for panning, much preferred and Bluetooth helps

[@IxverPro]

Can you make motion time lapse movies with that?

[@BluePacificMedia]

no, it moves too fast for timelapse :(

[@andyakarudolfhessiansack7936]

+Ixver Pro . Didnt he say tht in the video....crikey!!

[@maguilecutty]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH7RlWqmjZ2FldUm47s just sayin...

[@changyulin47]

can you control it via PC?

[@cxociety6983]

How does it compare to BlackBolt BA20?

[@BluePacificMedia]

cxociety i have no idea 😂

[@pjsagnia]

Can this be used as an auto pan on a slider. Similar to Edelkrone target module?

[@gunfighterzero]

if you use non rechargeable lithium batteries, you will pick up 1.2 volts and it should match the speed of the AC adapter... just dont plug it in while those batteries are installed..

[@tamilcultureincanada8836]

Good thanks looking forward for more videos

[@jectld]

Our company provide the same pan tilt head like it.

[@tekatetikitiki]

CAN ANYONE HERE PLEASE TELL ME THE EXACT WEBSITE WHERE I CAN GET THE MOST INEXPENSIVE ZIFON YT-1000? THANK U IN ADVANCE.

[@WallaceLivingFree]

Thanks for the vid mate ., no waffle and covered the product well, cheers mate.

[@-gbogbo-]

Great review thanks

[@passionpit]

Good input mate...!

[@itsMeJustin]

thanks for the info. Very helpful

[@srilankavideos6105]

The video is helpful to some extent and I would have given you a like if you had included a demonstration pan/tilt shot, the absence of which is a significant shortcoming in a video reviewing a motorised pan/tilt tripod head.

[@BluePacificMedia]

2:47 watch the video then comment if you want to be detractive.

[@MachineElf1111]

Cheers mate!

[@Musalam]

thank you..

[@XLRSAv]

It’s so, but absolute silent!

[@matthewalkman386]

SHOW IT WITH THE CAMERA ON SOMETHING!
