    but you won’t be able to do long exposures as the camera will move when the
    motor moves.

    Not sure how much but the rotation speed is adjustable. In the video is the
    slowest setting I believe.

    I’m just in the act of building the panning mechanism for my sony nex for
    time-lapsing. I also want to use this motor for that. your video helped me
    there because there are absolutely no photos of this thing of the backside
    how much revolutions does the motor make per minute?
