The advantage is the servos can react very quickly. Nice job by the way!

You are correct in that it is simple to use the servos as the signal input to the robot control system. The difficulty comes while calibrating two motion control systems to work together. Remember that they will be working against each other. Robot motion will cause the camera to move, and vise verse. Calibration is key and for good calibration you will need to understand how each motion control system relates to the other.
It looks like you are well on your way to achieving that.
