can you pan back and forth with the camera without having to move my body or torso??

I suppose that you could loosen the camera on the mount but , that would introduce some wobble into the footage as well as the danger of skewing the viewpoint.

No, you have to move your body to move the camera, but that's the beauty of it in my opinion.

You have to move back and forth to make a pan or any other camera movement because the camera is hardly fixed on a point of the stabilizer. This stabilizer will help to distribute the weight of the camera because you can "rest on it"... I've been able to hold the camera for hours without having back pain, I've achieved cleaner pans and better control of functions of the lens/camera.

If you have the room, you can spin this in circles. Pans very smooth and what I do is I hold on to the camera side and do my pans.

Yes, you can. There is a toggle mode where it stays on one camera for 5 or 10 seconds and then switches to the other. It's nice that it's automatic!

You can rotate the camera manually. The optics are sharp and for the $ its a nice camera!

No. And it is annoying to flip between cameras. It is not instantaneous when you move from view to view...each camera has to load, initiate, etc. can take up to a minute. Belkin should change this.

No, only the legs can be adjusted. It's a bit small, so the camera is not on eye level. Also, the mechanism is no longer very smooth and it clicks. It's a few years old, but I hardly use it. I thought it would be smooth for the life. It makes panning difficult without a jerk effect.

You can turn the camera on and off. It takes both video and stills. Do NOT buy this one, it's a piece of crap, it will break easily. The gears are CHEAP PLASTIC, where the shaft goes thru center of gear, the screw that tightens on the shaft will strip on first crash.

There is a lock function. Not 100% sure if it would be for what you need it for but I can confirm there is a lock function that allows photos to be taken continuously back to back until you take it off

It has a panoramic button. You just move the camera as you are taking the picture. I never used it, but want to this summer. Hope this helps.

Yes, but that said it is a fixed camera so where you aim it is what you get. When I purchased this I thought you could pan tilt etc. Not the case. It is fixed.

No, yo can´t. Suppose If the eyepeace will let you do this, you won´t be able to operate normally the controls of your DSLR that are at your right.

No you cannot do that. The slowest speed is like a slow live panoramic . Nice and smooth but too fast for time lapse. It's a good panner but not great. It is the only one worth a damn for under 1000 that I have seen.

My wife and I do use the pan & tilt feature (not so much with zoom) on a fairly consistent basis. The camera is wall mounted and our little one tends to "drift" while sleeping in her crib. Without the ability to pan/tilt the camera a lot of times we'd be staring at her feet, or if she rotates in the crib, absolutely nothing at all.

I like to use my video software for this while using my desktop. You can capture any frame you like with this method. I find pressing the shutter button makes me move my camera a little while recording video and I don't that.

Yes. Just reach back and move it into the position you want. No need to get out of the chair.

It will allow you to do that, but I was very disappointed with it and send it back. Kept disconneting itself. I just bought a cable on a usb to go from camera to computer and it takes no time at all! You will not be happy with this device.

In auto it will pan but not slow enough for time-lapse. Aprox. 20 sec. to do a 90deg. and back.
