Panorama Equipment

hunter349

I recently have been doing some freelance work shooting 360 degree panoramas. I use a nodal mount and everything works great but I hate having to manually pan the camera in 20-30 degree increments. Does anyone know of a motorized turn table or something that will pan itself?

GigaPan has three models:

• GigaPan EPIC: $349.00USD, for P&S and light digicams.
  
• EPIC 100: $449.00, for larger digicams and small dSLRs with lightweight lenses, extra features.
  
• EPIC Pro: $895.00, camera/lens combinations to 10lbs, advanced features, available April 2010.

Camera compatibility for EPIC Pro (also the other heads above):

Thanks, I checked it out and they even allow for bracketing of shots for each angle. Now time to find $500 in my budget.

I don't think that the EPIC 100 will handle a Nikon D300, if that's what you have planned. You would probably need the EPIC Pro for the D300 in your signature.

Thanks for noticing that, I have a D5000 that I use for the panoramas.
