Warning: I believe the motor in this product is rated at 6 volts so using NiZn batteries probably is pushing the upper limits of the design, especially when the batteries have just been recharged (I think they are at 1.8 volts at the start of the discharge curve). I purchased 4 NiZn AA batteries and a charger on Amazon for about $21 - these new batteries have a much higher voltage than NiMh batteries.Here are the summary results for a 340 degree pan with speed control slider on remote at max position.NiMH AA: 47 seconds Alkaline AA: 40 seconds NiZn AA: 33 secondsConclusionBy using rechargeable NiZn AA batteries, I was able to increase the panning speed by about 30% over NiMH batteries (47-33)/47. Looking at the motor drive circuit and various hack posts, I realized that the motor speed is dependent on the motor voltage so before I went as far as finding a replacement motor, I ran some experiments using different types of AA batteries (Alkaline 1.5 volts, NiMh 1.3 volts and NiZn 1.6 volts).
BESCOR MP 101 POWER SUPPLY SERIES
I used 4 Amazon AA NiMH rechargeable batteries which have a typical voltage of 1.3 volt (so four in series is about 5.2 volts). So every shot required me to zoom out and zoom back in once the goal was in the field of view. I purchased for lacrosse and discovered on the first weekend of use, I was unable to pan fast enough as the ball moved down the field.

But if you need something fast that will travel well, look elsewhere.Ģ How to Improve Pan Speed with 1.6 v NiZn batteries or Alkaline batteries The kit including the head, power supply, remote, and long cord is nice. If you want something low-cost and don't need speed or durability, the Bescor is probably okay. Ultimately we opted for a VidPro motorized pan/tilt device that cost more.

Plus the plastic housing doesn't appear very durable. The remote control isn't as handy as the joystick controls on competitive models, so combining pans and tilts to follow action is awkward at best. We found that the Bescor is not fast enough. The device needs to be able to track action as it moves up and down the playing area. We tested the Bescor Pan & Tilt Head for use during live sports. Electronic Dictionaries, Thesauri & Translators.PS - Please review the archived messages in this and other transceiver discussion forums for lengthy discussions on power supplies - I hope we do not have to go through all that again ! No offense, just saying this has been covered already. Of course, you mileage may vary - this is only MY take. The rig manufacturers also produce good power supplies, but those by ICOM, Kenwood, and Yaesu are, in my view, very expensive and are not sufficiently higher quality to justify the cost differential - but then. I personally do not favor MFJ and Pyramid supplies - the former because their switching supplies tend to have noisy cooling fans that run all the time, and the latter because of do not perceive it as producing the same quality as the other companies. You can find plenty of hero and horror stories about any manufacturer, but anything by Alinco, Astron, Samlex, Diamond, Daiwa, should work fine.
I also run my accessories off a separate, second power supply - just because (again I like lots of head room so equipment just coasts along easy like.) You cannot go wrong with any of the major manufacturers. I personally like having a lot of headroom in my equipment, so I use a 30 amp or higher power supply. I HOPE we do not get all bogged down in the usual switching-linear supply debate - because at this point in the game, they all work well enough. Power supply ? Almost any power supply that meets the manufacturer's rating will suffice.
