First field test of the panning system was a success. Unfortunately I was too caught up in watching it cautiously walk in that I didn't end up with time to get to a spot to make a shot before it wandered off......
The camera was setup on top of the feeder and I was positioned about 200 yards away. I may need to rethink not having a tilt mechanism as once the animals went under the feeder I could no longer see them. This vantage point did allow me to see animals approaching from different directions than I could from where I was actually sitting.
Speed is 4x real time to keep you from being bored watching a very cautious hog walk in. While the servo does make a slight noise, it didn't seem to spook the hog or the deer that came around.....
