This is a very interesting product until you see the price.

I've been searching for something like this, but I had better produce a better business plan for its use. $9,000 at B & H.

Seems great for remote control.

There are better or at least excellent cheaper options for robotized pano work (Clauss Rodeon comes to mind).

If you think that's expensive try pricing a motorized head for high end video or cinema cameras.

I'll take your word for it.

Meanwhile, this looks like the proper price to quality ratio.
