Does this device use batteries and is it a smooth 360 pan and not increments.

No it does not use batteries it's moves like a egg timer so it its very smooth for a time lapse

No batteries at all. It's pretty much a mechanical egg timer with a 1/4" camera stud on it. Very smooth movement on it when using a time lapse app on my iPhone.

It does not use batteries. It does pan smoothly. If shooting video with sync sound, there is the clicking noise you will have to contend with. Sounds like a stopwatch.

no batteries. smooth 360. it also has markings for partial increments (e.g. 45 degrees, etc.)

No batteries and yes it is smooth... sounds like a standard kitchen timer mechanism but basically it works as advertised. nothing flashy ...just does what it says. It is not for big cameras. I have used it to shoot sever gopro timelapse videos and it worked great. Keep in mind it takes an hour to do 360 degrees so you might want ti get 2 and stack them for quicker coverage.

No batteries , but only meant for time lapse in increments even though it is a smooth pan, but every 90* takes 15 min to complete so it's not good for video

No batteries needed. And yes, it's pretty smooth, 360 degrees in 60 minutes

It doesn't use batteries. It works like the igniter on a BBQ. I believe its called piezo electric.

It gets it's power from the USB, but you can run it on 3 AAA batteries. Been rather disappointed with this scale. It does not hold zero, LCD is hard to see as it has no back light. Our old scale was much better and cost less too.

i've never used batteries in mine. I just plug it and do what I need to do before I stop. I have 2 chairs that I have to use it on, and it takes me about 15 minutes every time I use it. Yesterday I finished my chairs and moved on to a throw rug I had washed. Which did a fantastic job on the rug. Not sure if this helps you or not, but it never slows or over heats when I use it.

No, it runs on batteries. Just a heads up on this item, the screen is not too clear and is not in color.

The battery that it uses is the small round one like a watch would use or digital scales. I haven't had them long enough to know but would expect several years from them based on the battery type.

I actually don't remember. I do know that the display is not illuminated so that tells me it probably does not use batteries.

Yes it does indeed use batteries. One AA battery that is and the battery will last up to a year and a half or longer sometimes as I've had this same exact mouse in a different color for a few years now.

The one I ordered uses the AAA batteries. So that is great. My little angle gage thing uses the flat battery, which dies after a short while. Real pain there. If they come out with one that uses different batteries I will buy it.The TS gage is a really good device. I am very familiar with this sort of thing due to my background. Keying in numbers is for the birds, it may be handy on a vertical mill, but on a TS? I doubt it.

It doesn't have a battery. Use hand and give a gentle massage. It just rolls.

No it does not use batteries. The power cord comes out in the back of the unit.

I guess it has a battery. It began working right away. You have to tap it - let it display a zero then step on it. Very accurate scale - looks good too!

I bought this for my son about 5 years ago I believe and he used it several time and still have it and it still works. It is pretty cool. But to answer the battery life, I do not believe it uses the batteries like you might think. It is easy on the batteries.

This one does not have a battery operated mechanism. So the VCR you insert this unit into has to pull the tape. It is not as smooth as the battery assisted unit, but does work.

It uses one lithium battery. It is about the size of a nickel and came in the unit. If you are carb counting, this scale is ideal.

There is a charging base you plug in and then you put the toothbrush on to charge. It holds a charge for a long time. I didn't need batteries

It works off batteries and AC but it is not accurate and caused me health problems. When I got it I had it calibrated in my Dr's office and it was ok but after 6 months my unit was reading 30 points high on both the high and low readings. This caused me to be over-medicated until if realized it was the unit. Read my review before you buy this. BTW: Panasonic's response was to repair the unit. I did not take them up on this and bought a different brand from a company who has been in this business for a much longer time.
