Investigating Pan/Tilt mechanisms?

Looking into adding a remote control pan/tilt unit to use in conjunction with a tripod or on the end of a camera crane. The camcorders could be as light as a consumer Sony HDR-HC1 (almost 2 pounds) and perhaps a little heavier than a HDR-FX1 (about 5 pounds). If I add a mic and high capacity battery, the weights go us about a pound.

I have a Bescor which does not have a model number, but must be the same one. It is rated for 6 pounds. I used it with a panasonic WV D5000 type video camera with no problems. I think that would be about the same size and weight class as the FX1. The camera weight is not as critical as balance and center of gravity. The Bescor was developed originally for cameras with a CG that is much higher than modern digital camera equivalents so i think the 6 pound rating is being very conservative.
