For an inexpensive pan/tilt product, this is a great unit. We have three of them at our church.
The unit this one replaced worked well for about six years before it malfunctioned. The pan/tilt head this remote operates is still working great, as are the other two complete setups. We use the cameras mounted on these pan/tilt heads at every service, including special events, which equates to approximately 180 to 190 times annually. The MP-101 is an excellent buy. The remote was inexpensive to replace. You wouldn't use the MP-101 in a professional setting; it's a bit unrefined with it's jerky "too fast" motion even on the slowest speed, but for our purposes, it works fine. You can't beat the price.

Won't turn Left
The motor head is good but after about 8 hours of work the controller would only turn right and not go left. Seems the controller lets the rest of it down that works good. ...Read complete review

The Bescor P&T has saved me big money in payroll and quite frankly they provide a smoother pan than others at 6 times the price.

Comments about Bescor Remote Control - for MP-101 Motorized Pan Head:
The MP-101 is a fantastic piece of gear to own. Doing live webcam streaming with the Motorized Pan Head and this remote is what differentiates between an average amateur performance and a slick professional presentation. This is a MUST HAVE.

Comments about Bescor Remote Control - for MP-101 Motorized Pan Head:
The original remote that came with my MP-101 pan tilt head lost its ability to pan left. After buying a new one, which worked on about 10 shoots, the ability to pan left has once again disappeared. This is the only wired remote out there for this pan tilt head, so I guess you are stuck needing a spare in case one of them breaks.

Comments about Bescor Remote Control - for MP-101 Motorized Pan Head:
This unit works as advertised. I would enjoy using it more if the pan/tilt control was a small knob instead of a disk. It would also be more usable if it had an available clamp for attaching it to a tripod's pan bar or to the weight bar of a jib crane.
