Suggestions on parts to create a platform to give my iPhone a single 360 degree lap with the press of a button using a wired remote? Live streaming my band I want to occasionally pan around the venue then returning to its original position pointing toward the stage. I would be happy with that at a single speed but other levels of sophistication would be able to set multiple speeds and auto rotation where it could be set to make a 360 degree lap every few minutes. I say wired remote thinking it would be less problematic and I could run a 50ā cable to my mic stand. Iām also open to contracting someone to make it for me.
Hello @CalvinMann and welcome to the RobotShop forum,
You can find lots of options in the Direct Drive Pan & Tilt section of the store. Most of these work with servos so you can easily control them with an RC remote, but if you want to program the rotation you could use a microcontroller.
If you only need rotation you could use a base rotate kit with some extra brackets to hold the phone, for example:
Or if you want to be able to tilt the phone as well you could use something like this:
I hope that helps!
Thanks Geraldine, this gives me a good start.
