#Bescor mp 101 joystick 1080p#

(I know there's a similar thread about hardware for lowest latency, but I wanted to ask specifically about 1080p resolution. Is anyone else using 1080p equipment in a live production environment where latency matters? What products are you using? I need a compact camera that I can mount on a wall or a ceiling with the Bescor head. The other camera I'd like to try is the Sony HXR-NX70. I like everything else about the camera, but less of a delay would be nice. I have the Canon Vixia HF-G30 now and I'm seeing a delay of at 60 ms on it. The Vaddio PowerVIEW HD-22 has a claimed frame delay of 1 frame, but at $4000 that's a bit out of my price range.ДЄt this point, I am trying out prosumer camcorders on a Bescor MP-101 pan/tilt head. I also tried the Lumens VC-G50, which has less delay (about 50 ms), but the image quality is not as good. The extra 50ms (compared to our tripod camera) is very noticeable in the final output. The lowest latency I could get on that was about 80 ms.

So on my path to upgrade to 1080p60, first I tried out the Sony SRG-300H PTZ camera. Total delay is about 200 ms, which is okay but not great. Right now, my latency numbers from camera input to TV output are something like this (at 1080i): I point the camera at the laptop running the timer, connect the camera's HDMI output to an HDMI monitor, and then compare the time on the laptop to the time on the monitor. I've been using a Sony HVR-V1U, which is a 1080i camera, and it has about 1-2 frames delay (33 ms at most) when I do a test similar to the above. Now I'm having some issues on the camera end of things, too. (These items depend on line of sight and have issues in direct sunlight because of their use of IR.) IвЂ™m uncertain of how accurate gps may be but I am wondering if a calibration routine could be engineered to fine tune the signals allowing it to automatically aim the camera to something like the controlling cell phone.Sigh. I am pleased that youвЂ™re working in this area and also disappointed that there is not greater progress (this is not a criticism of your work but a lament that there has not been more work in this area.) Thinking about it, though, the use of phones and the capacity of a device to control the pan-tilt device it occurred to me that the use of the phoneвЂ™s GPS may create a way to do the follow me capability of the soloshot device possibly with greater capability.

#Bescor mp 101 joystick Bluetooth#

Found your blog searching for a bluetooth controller for the Bescor figuring there has to be a tool out there that allows a wireless control approach for that pan/tilt device. I could see this being very useful withВ my camtreeВ motorized slider-it would be wonderfulВ to be able to use the bescor on thatВ in concert with a camera in timelapse mode Good luck with your experimenting.

Y= and let the controller pan and tilt for an hour or so with repeatable results.

What a great addition that would bedial in settings X=.

The Bescor MP-101 pan and tilt is a great cost effective solution for video and photo setups, but it has several limitations. In the Box Bescor MP-101 Motorized Pan & Tilt Head Remote Control for MP-101 Motorized. Bescor Motorized Pan & Tilt Head with Power supply and Extension Cord Kit. Welcome to Bescor where you will find all the photographic and video lighting equipment you need. My ears perked up when you mentioned a timelapse option. Your вЂvirtualвЂ™ joystick is intriguing (as was your other explorations with the hardwired joystick). The joystick that they use is a fairly rudimentary CTS Series 252 switcha вЂminiвЂ™ joystickthat does not come close to the smooth control offered by the joystick on a Nintendo Nunchukbut it does work as designed and givesВ good measure of control. But at 85 british pounds it is not cheap.

Smooth control of the Bescor pan/tilt head, from a standstill to full speed.В They appear to have designed a fairly simple circuit that does a decent job of extending the control of the bescor beyond the standard remote. I purchased a joystick from Hague camera, in the UK, and it overcomes all the limitations of the standard remote.
