Motorized tripod head?
Can anyone recommend a fairly cheap, , remote controllable, motorized tripod head? I need something that can do the following:
- rotate (up/down, right/left) - save presets (so with a single press it goes to a predefined placement) That's all I can think of for now. Would be cool if it could zoom the camera (HG20) as well but I don't imagine there is any integrated solution that can control a tripod head and the camera (speaking of which, I wish the HG20 was fully controllable from the computer - has anyone hacked these Canon camcorders to implement something like that?)! thanks, brian |

In the EX forum there have been users using telescope tripod heads for this. Here's a link to get you started: http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/special-m...ipod-head.html

A search brought up this link Weatherproof Motorized Pan and Tilt Systems, Indoor-outdoor Motorized Heads, Wireless Remote Controls, Automatic Scanning, at 21best.com. I think some are engineered to work with Sony Lanc control so the consumer Canon's will not have the control for camera control but the rest will work.

I had come across that one at 21best.com but to get presets you have to get their $600 outdoor version. It looks way overkill for my needs.
Now that one at telecope.com looks promising but the link didn't work. thanks, brian |

This is probably overkill for what you need, but it's pro level, and you need a DMX controller.
