The fully-assembled pan-tilt kit is the perfect way to give your project full range motion with two micro servos. The pan-tilt can rotate roughly 180° from side-to-side and can tilt up&downwards around 150°. It also comes fully assembled with two Micro Servos included and a 38mm x 36mm space to mount a camera or sensor or whatever you like.
Since the motors are plain, every-day analog servos, you can use any microcontroller or driver. They’re good for beginners who want to make stuff move and the pan-tilt is an easy way to give whatever you’re making both left-right and up-down motion. In our demo, we hooked this up with a Trinket Pro and made it do a little dance with the Arduino Servo library.
The unassembled pan-tilt kit is can give your project the same customized full range motion! The pan-tilt can rotate roughly 180° from side-to-side and can tilt downwards roughly 150° (it may be less depending on the servos you use, of course). This version comes in kit form without any servos, unlike our fully assembled version (above) so if you have a bunch of servos already, or want to customize with one of our many micro servo options such as metal-gear or feedback-type, this is probably the better option for you.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
