I am trying to setup a black magic 4k camera to film classes and need to purchase equipment to have a ptz capability so that we can control the camera remotely without being in the same classroom, would you be able to suggest the equipment for that?

I would like to do it this way since I might take pictures of 4x5 or 6x6 negative not just 35mm.

I've got a donated d4 and d2 enlargers, d4 has color stabilized Chromega D lamphouse, so I am looking for a standard D2 condenser head, as I have plans to convert it to LED, looking to trade or buy please let me know what you have. Yuriy
