Overview
The 2-DOF pan-tilt kit is the essential building block for camera tracking, sensor platforms, and laser pointing projects. Two MG996R servo motors provide smooth pan (horizontal) and tilt (vertical) motion with 180° range on each axis. Compact, metal, and ready to mount.
If mounting a laser, follow proper laser safety protocols. Do not point laser at eyes. Secure mounting platform before powering servos to prevent unexpected movement.
