Bescor MP101W Reviews

Poor engineering design

By Walt
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2026-05-06

I have 6 of the previous model as fixed -position camera mounts. One of them just refused to pan. I purchased this unit to replace it. I also purchased 2, 50 foot EXTENTION cables to connect MP101W to control unit. I received 2 - 50 ft. trrs MALE cables instead. I cannot find a 3.5mm trrs female to 3.5mm trrs female to make the connections work. Also, the remote does not have a power switch. You have to add batteries to use, and remove them when finished. Have not yet tested to see if the 200 foot distance from unit to remote works.

Much Smoother than older Bescor Models

I have been using Bescor heads for years on my aerial tripods. This model is much smoother in its movements then the older models. Its also much faster. The only issue I have run into is the controller works opposite then what makes sense. When I push the controller UP, the head tilts DOWN. When I push the controller RIGHT, the head pans LEFT. Obviously I got around this by mounting my controller upside down. But doesn't seem right. Hoping there is a way to correct this that I am missing.
