It's possible to perform simultaneous panning and tilting movements with the Bescor MP 101, but it's extremely difficult to execute these combined movements with any degree of precision. It's also a good idea to secure any cables hanging from the camera and/or the Bescor so the camera doesn't get hung up on these as you pan around (I use velcro strips that I wrap around the center column of my tripod). You also want the tripod head to be perfectly level or you'll get tilted angles as you pan around.
I can then adjust the angle of the camera down slightly so I can get a good closeup of the ring slipping onto the bride's finger.If you plan on using the Bescor for weddings, be sure to get a tall tripod (at least 6') so you can shoot over the heads of the groomsmen as the bride comes down the aisle. I find the movement to be very smooth (not jittery like in the sample video-I think that's just because it's on the web) and also very quiet.For weddings, I screw one of theseonto the bottom of the camera before placing it onto the Bescor. I think they're great for the $, although you can purchase one of these setups for a lot more $ if you want greater control over the speed of the panning/tilting as well as controlling features on your camera (focusing, exposure, etc).Although the Bescor MP 101 comes with a (wired) remote control that has a slider that seems to indicate that it has variable speed control, it really only has 2 speeds: slow & fast. I've owned 3 of these (Bescor MP 101) for 8+ years and use them mostly for weddings. Many people love the CamRanger, but I find the system unstable, and when it hangs the server needs to be restarted, which is pretty annoying when it's on a mast 12m up in the air.An alternative (and better) solution for wirelessly controlling a camera is which is donationware and runs on the same hardware as the CamRanger (the TP-Link MR3040, which costs around 40 USD when bought without the CamRanger firmware installed).
