Moving head to camera pan tilt head

[Speedpiano]

Hello everyone,

I'm doing a dolly project, for which I would like to obtain a Pan-Tilthead. I'll be using Arduino to control everything, and instead of making a PanTilt head myself I thought that it might be possible to pick up and old moving head and use that as pan tilt head.

Thing is, I have no idea wheter it is possible for me to remove the lamp part of the moving head and make a sort of platform for the camera there.
If that's possible, I could control both axis through an DMX Shield, which is easier then doing it by yourself.

Could you shed a light on this whole? Is there a chance this would work?

Thanks in advance!

Can you post a pic of the one you intend using?

Welcome to EP.

Thanks!

I have been looking for some 2nd handed stuff, and I have found this one (no real brand name it seems, description doesn't say much either), or a Showtec Kanjo Wash.

This might change though, depends on the offers I can find online.

Thanks in advance!

PS: If you have another great solution I might not have thought of, that's also welcome of course
