Cliff, I had the trakker on my boat and I wired in a 7.2" LCD screen. I also did a wired remote to the driver's seat so I could control all the zoom, stop, start ect. I did not have a pan and tilt so I can't help you there but I can tell you that once you set it up you wouldn't need the pan/tilt. The Sony's and Canon's use the same remotes I think. I know there's a third party product I looked into that did both Sony and Canon but I stuck with my sony remote. There's a wired remote for canon at

I ran it all through the tower so there weren't a bunch of ugly wires showing. I had a couple long lasting batteries so I didn't have to wire any power for the camcorder on the tower.
We had some good riders but they all suck behind the camera. It was an awesome setup and we never missed anything after that.
I worked a lot with the guys that make the trakker by testing and giving input. I'm sure you'll be happy with the mount.
Good Luck,
John
