A.Yes but you will have to go into advance mode. There you will see the step is set to .05 and the period is set to .300. These are small set of time so to speed the unit up change the step (motor on time) to .10 so now when it does run it will run for 2x as long thus cutting the overall time/distance in half when sent to .05. Remember to always keep the motor speed to 50 or less. When the motor speed is less than 50 it is slow enough that if the unit is moving while your shutter is open you will get ghosting or blurring. The only time you may want to increase the motor speed faster than 50 is if you have the slider set up vertical or at steep incline and you need to compensate for weight lift. So now due to a heavy weight lift you may need to set motor power/speed to 100 for it to move at the same speed of 50 when flat. You will need to experiment to find what settings will work with your camera set up as they are all different.

Here are some approximate figures to use as a starting point.  These figures where populated with a Canon 7d  equipped with an extended battery grip and 15mm lens.

Using these figures should get you close to the reported result but you may need to adjust the motor off time to adjust movement over time to your exact expected result.

Being the load on the pan always remains the same you will find very little variation once you have established the common result to your unit.  A few tips. 

1. Try to get your camera as close to perfect center of gravity that is balance up and down as well as forward to back.  

2.  Always leave your 'Motor on' time to ".05"  and your 'Motor Speed' to "50" and make your distance over time adjustments by lengthening or shortening the 'Motor Off' time.

PAN: Keep 'Motor On' to ".05" & 'Motor Speed' to "50" and run your cycles to cover the time you want the TL to take (i.e. If you want a 60 min TL, run the cycles up to a number that the Oracle says will last 60 min).

degrees of movement over | time period / motor off time (mo=motor off)

22.5 degrees over | 30min/mo 4sec | 1hr/ mo  8sec | 2hr/ mo  16sec | 4hr/ mo  32sec 

45 degrees over | 30min/mo 2sec | 1hr/ mo  4sec | 2hr/ mo  8sec | 4hr/ mo  16sec

90 degrees over | 30min/mo 1sec | 1hr/ mo  2sec | 2hr/ mo  4sec | 4hr/ mo  8sec

180 degrees over | 30min/mo .5sec | 1hr/ mo  1sec | 2hr/ mo  2sec | 4hr/ mo  4sec

TILT: Keep 'Motor On' to ".05" & 'Motor Speed' to "50" and run your cycles to cover the time you want the TL to take (i.e. If you want a 60 min TL, run the cycles up to a number that the Oracle says will last 60 min).

These figures where populated with an Canon 7d equipped with a extended battery grip and 15mm lens.  This camera set up is approximately 50% below center of gravity so if you where to have the camera raised to be on perfect center of gravity you will use the same figures as the pan above.

degrees of movement over | time period / motor off time (mo=motor off)

22.5 degrees over | 30min/mo 2sec | 1hr/ mo  4sec | 2hr/ mo  8sec | 4hr/ mo  16sec

45 degrees over | 30min/mo 1sec | 1hr/ mo  2sec | 2hr/ mo  4sec | 4hr/ mo  8sec

90 degrees over | 30min/mo .5sec | 1hr/ mo  1sec | 2hr/ mo  2sec | 4hr/ mo  4sec

180 degrees over | 30min/mo .25sec | 1hr/ mo  .5sec | 2hr/ mo  1sec | 4hr/ mo  2sec 

Once you have tried one of these settings it is a good idea to write down your result if it is different than what the chart has stated so you can adjust or repeat this move next time.

You may also tweak the Motor Speed settings to fine tune the results. For example if your 'Motor Speed' is "50" and you expect your move to go 90 degrees over a period, and it actually goes 95 degrees you can reduce the 'Motor Speed' to say "45", so each movement is slightly slower. We do not recommend setting the Motor Speed over "50" when using long exposures.
