The Bescor MP-101 Motorized Pan & Tilt Head Kit D-Tap Adapterattaches between a tripod and camera and enables remote panning and tilting of the camera. Two independent motors smoothly operate horizontal and vertical motion at adjustable speeds. The head supports payloads up to 6 lb. The two mounting points are the 1/4"-20 female threads underneath and the 1/4"-20 camera mounting screw with registration pin on top. All tripods and cameras are compatible.

An Auto Pan Mode allows for continuous panning motion, and a switch selector lets you assign end points at 45°, 90°, or 340°. The maximum horizontal angle is ±170 degrees, and the maximum vertical angle is ±15 degrees. This head can power by four AA batteries, the Bescor PS-260 AC power supply, or a Bescor 90-645 external battery, all sold separately.

Q: 7. What tripod/wall mount would support the MP-101? I need to mount a camcorder on top of the support the MP-101? I need to mount a camcorder on top of the MP-101, and the MP-101 needs to be mounted to a support pillar in my church.

A: If mounting on a tripod (as long as it supports the weight), the accessory that ensures solid connection is the following https://bhpho.to/2H4VUWR - or the device would have to be mounted on a wall mount that is traditionally used for PTZ cameras.

Q: 8. Is it possible to control the pan tilt of this camera through software I create? In other words, does the SDK exist to control the angle?

A: no this particular pan and tilt unit does not come with an SDK or support that functionality

Q: 9. Is it possible to let it move permanently left to right and back and back and ...over an angle of 90?

A: In Auto mode it will pan back and forth at an angle of 90 degrees. You can also do it for 60 or 30 degrees.

Q: 10. What cable connector is used on the MP-101? I'd like to use an Arduino to control the pan and tilt. I do not want to cut up the cable to do this.

A: Greetings, Joe. I think I understand your intention but I'm not sure you can achieve it with the Bescor MP-101. To confirm, the unit uses a 7-pin (female) DIN connector to support its wired remote equipped with a 7-pin (male) DIN connector. The seven pins are required to allow the MP-101 to pan, tilt and (in combination) move diagonally. It looks like the Arduino uses a bayonet-style mount that probably has only a signal and ground connection. How you'd adapt that to provide full Bescor functionality is uncertain. If you want to experiment, Bescor sells a 25' extension cable with 7-pin M/F DIN connectors on the ends and you could cut that up to work on wiring options. An alternative would be to consider using a Camranger wireless WiFi controller instead. It works with both the MP-101 as well as Camranger's branded equivalent and provides full wireless motion control using a proprietary app on your smart device. That solution has performed very well for me. You might want to check it out!
