Bescor MP-101 Video Motorized Pan Head MP101. Power is provided by AA batteries, not included. The combination of the remote's speed control and the added diodes slowed the pan function to the desired level. The Bescor MP-1B comes as a kit and contains one Bescor MP-101 motorized pan and tilt head, one Bescor 90-645 battery and one Bescor BC-665R standard overnight charger. The Auto Pan mode allows continuous horizontal panning motion of +/- 30Y, +/- 60Y, or /- 90Y set by selector switch. This made it hard to work with and wasnt suited for my camer. This compact and lightweight motorized head is useful for mounting and controlling the pan and tilt of a camera where automatic or remote operation is preferred. By itself this wasn't as slow as desired but it was found that the auto feature still is slowed by the speed control on the remote if you leave the remote plugged in. When I bought a Bescor MP-101, the original remote only allowed movement on one axis at a time. Included in this kit is a Bescor MP-101 motorized head, a PS-260 AC power adapter, a remote control, a 20 remote extension cable, an L-series battery plate. This only caused panning 340 degrees to take 53 seconds instead of 43 seconds. With the MP-101 Pan/Tilt Head, 20 Remote Extension & AC/Battery Power Kit from Bescor, you can remotely control your cameras MP-101 pan/tilt from across the room.

BESCOR MP 101 REMOTE INSTALL
The approached that worked was to install two diodes parallel to each other with opposing polarities to cause a consistent voltage drop of approximately one volt. Bescor Remote Control for the MP-101 Motorized Pan Head. The low value resistors I had on hand when tried just caused the motor to stop functioning. This Bescor Remote Control is a direct replacement for the remote included with the MP-101 motorized pan head in case the original is lost or damaged. This allowed me to swap out different value resistors and diodes without having to take the housing apart. I soldered two extension wires that I routed outside of the housing by drilling a small divot into the side. This was convent as all of the wire colors are used more than once except for the blue wire going to the pan motor. The simplest approach we could see to limit the speed of the pan function was to wire an impedance directly into the wires for the motor.
