TX for camera controls?

[furyphoto]

Hey guys,

I was wondering what those of you who are running a second transmitter for camera controls are using.

I am in the process of adding an Askman 360 mount and need a second receiver for the mount anyway. I can get a Futaba 6EXH for $260 cdn including an 8 ch receiver, and some extra servos (been meaning to get some anyway)

My question is, are there any reasons that anyone can muster why I might need more than 6 channels?

I figure tilt, pan , trigger, a custom switch to change between manual control and TCUIT control of the mount, and one more to trigger the TUCIT, that leaves one channel for zoom if I wanted to add it. So that's 6 ( I might be able to trigger manual camera, and my TUCIT with the same channel)

Am I leaving anything out? What are you running?

Thanks,

I am using the 6exh for my mount too, but am only using pan, tilt and shutter release. No zoom for me. I only fly with prime lenses right now and I got a bunch, so i'll use them whenever i can.
