Anyone know what motorised timelapse head that can hold the weight of 1DX2 + 16-35 f4 lens + arca swiss clamps & plate?

The MOVO Mtp-2000 caught my interest but the max weight load is only rated at 2kg, not enough to hold my camera setup above.

Lol

So you only need one axis?

Not sure of any single axis pantable that can handle heavier loads.

But any kit from Dito gear, slidekamera, Cognisys or Senna will work.

I use Cognisys rotary tables, sliders and rails.

Not sure if this line (see https://www.edelkrone.​com/ (external link)) will fill your needs but I see units that supposedly hold up to 40#.

Syrp Genie mini, does 4KG, small, light, highly expandable, fairly priced, especially used. The regular Genie can hold even more weight and slide.

You want something that can shoot, pause, shoot, pause for timelapses. Second hand genie's are dirt cheap, and you can probably even pan up down
