It support Pan and Tilt, but i couldn't get it to follow a person in the field. So if you want to manually reorient the camera without being there, it may be useful. The built-in software lacks of polish and can be buggy at times. I wouldn't recommend it in a professional environment. Regards, -- Aurélien Guillaume "I love deadlines.
