1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause a computing device to execute operations comprising displaying a user interface on a display of the computing device for controlling a pan/tilt device, the user interface comprising: a control mode selector that displays a plurality of control mode selector icons, each of the plurality of control mode selector icons corresponding to a control mode of a plurality of control modes,receives a user input selection of one of the plurality of control mode selector icons, anddisplays a control mode corresponding to the selected control mode selector icon, wherein displaying the control mode comprises displaying, in the main portion of the user interface, a user controllable icon corresponding to the control mode,a functionality limitation setting mechanism that receives a user input selection of a functionality limitation applied to the selected direction of movement on the user controllable icon to limit the functionally in which the pan/tilt device is moved in the selected direction of movement on the user controllable icon, wherein a user indicates a speed of movement of the pan/tilt device, the speed of movement of pan/tilt device corresponding to the distance the icon is moved from the center position or a rotational speed of the icon; andwherein the user interface is accessed on a touch screen interface of the computing device. 2. The user interface of claim 1, wherein the plurality of control mode comprises a touchpad mode, wherein the touchpad mode displays, in the main portion of the user interface, a solid color or a video from the pan/tilt device and enables a user to control the pan/tilt device by making touch gestures in the main portion of the user interface. 3. The user interface of claim 1, wherein the plurality of control modes comprises a trackball mode, wherein the trackball mode, displays, in the main portion of the user interface, a user controllable trackball icon and enables a user to control the pan/tilt device by rotating the trackball icon. 4. The user interface of claim 1, wherein the plurality of control modes comprises a joystick mode, wherein the trackball mode displays, in the main portion of the user interface, a user controllable joystick icon and enables a user to control the pan/tilt device by moving a position of the joystick icon. 5. The user interface of claim 1, wherein the functionality limitation setting mechanism further comprises a speed sensitivity setting mechanism. 6. The user interface of claim 1, wherein the functionality limitation setting mechanism further comprises a position lock setting mechanism. 7. The user interface of claim 6, wherein the position lock setting mechanism further comprises a user selection of an axis of movement of the pan/tilt device. 8. The user interface of claim 1, wherein the functionality limitation setting mechanism further comprises a maximum speed setting mechanism. 9. The user interface of claim 1, and further comprising: a zoom setting mechanism, wherein a user indicates a zoom setting for the pan/tilt device. 10. A device comprising a controller coupled to one or more processors, a display, and a touchscreen interface on the display for a pan/tilt device, the controller comprising: a display configured to display a plurality of control mode selector icons, each of the plurality of control mode selector icons corresponding to a control mode of a plurality of control modes;a user input mechanism configured to receive a user selection of one of the plurality of control mode icons on a touchscreen; wherein in response to the user selection, the displays a control mode corresponding to the selected control mode selector icon, wherein displaying the control mode comprises displaying, in the main portion of the user interface, a user controllable icon corresponding to the control mode;a signal generator configured to receive a user input selection of a functionality limitation applied to the selected direction of movement on the user controllable icon to limit the functionally in which the pan/tilt device is moved in the selected direction of movement on the user controllable icon;wherein a user indicates a speed of movement of the pan/tilt device, the speed of movement of pan/tilt device corresponding to the distance the icon is moved from the center position or a rotational speed of the icon;a processor that is configured to transmit the control signal to a motor of the pan/tilt device. 11. The controller of claim 10, wherein the controller is a phone. 12. The controller of claim 10, wherein the controller further comprises a zoom setting, wherein the zoom setting indicates a zoom level for a feed receiver of the pan/tilt device. 13. The controller of claim 10, wherein the controller further comprises a position lock setting. 14. The controller of claim 10, wherein the position lock setting locks a position of the pan/tilt device such that the pan/tilt device is unable to move along a locked axis. 15. The controller of claim 10, and further comprising: a mode selector, wherein the user selects to operate the controller in an open-loop mode or a closed loop-mode. 16. A method for controlling a pan/tilt device, the method comprising: displaying a plurality of control mode selector icons on a touchscreen display of a computing device, each of the plurality of control mode selector icons corresponding to a control mode of a plurality of control modes;receiving a user input selection of one of the plurality of control mode selector icons;displaying a control mode corresponding to the selected control mode selector icon, wherein displaying the control mode comprises displaying, in the main portion of the user interface, a user controllable icon corresponding to the control mode;receiving a user input indicative of a direction and a speed of movement for a pan/tilt device on the user controllable icon; wherein the speed of movement of pan/tilt device corresponding to the distance the icon is moved from the center position or a rotational speed of the icon;translating the received user input into a control signal comprising the indicated direction and speed; and transmitting the control signal to the pan/tilt device. 17. The method of claim 16, and further comprising: saving the indicated direction and speed of movement for the pan/tilt device. 18. The method of claim 16, and further comprising: repeating the method for a plurality of pan/tilt devices.
