Here's a brillant idea: Give me the option of having a momentary switch (that I can secure near the handlebars/top handle) that FREEZES the pan motor so I can whip pan.
Hmmm very interesting.... I'd also like a switch that puts the unit in standby (like off on the remote) for when I am changing lenses and batteries..
Justin, You kind of pointed out the best solution so far. That's what Ive been doing. Its so much nice than waiting for it to "come up" again.
