Panoramic Tripod Head QuickPan® Panoramic Tripod Head User’s Guide - V1.4 - Feb 2007 QuickPan Panoramic Tripod Head Overview Welcome to the Kaidan QuickPan and Panoramic Photography Thank you for purchasing a Kaidan QuickPan Panoramic Tripod Head. This manual is designed to help you understand how to use your Quick- Pan to create quality panoramas. This document will be revised from time to time and updated versions can be down loaded from the QuickPan page on the Kaidan web site. QuickPan Overview The QuickPan family is built around a stur dy and precise Rota tor Base with interchangable in dex ing ClickDiscs. There are several camera brackets that slide and lock onto the Rotator Base. The QuickPan IV rotator design supersedes the QuickPan III rotator and uses a new fl at detent disc design. A panoramic tripod head makes it easy to capture a sequence of photos that are stitched to form a complete panoramic image. It holds the camera in the portrait ori en ta tion, positions the cam era so that it ro tates around the optical center or nodal point of the lens and provides a repeatable and adjustable click-stop indexing mechanism.

  • Shooting Sharp Images: Gear and Techniques You Need
    SHOOTING SHARP IMAGES: GEAR AND TECHNIQUES YOU NEED Steps you can take to ensure you’re shooting sharp images every time. “For with slight efforts how should we obtain great results? It is foolish even to desire it.” – EURIPIDES An image that looks perfectly sharp on the camera’s preview screen or your laptop display may print undesirably soft. This blog entry reviews ways to capture an image with as much sharpness as possible. You can always soften a print later, but putting sharpness in later is much trickier. Shoot It Right, Don’t Try to Make It Right It’s tempting to think you can fix sharpness problems later, in the computer. Don’t fall into this trap! Software sharpening has limits, and it’s always more efficient to do something correctly rather than have to try to fix it later on. What are the elements of shooting sharp images? BUY THE RIGHT TRIPOD Use sturdy support, adequate to your particular camera’s needs. Many people make uninformed decisions when buying tripods, and are often disappointed with the lack of improvement in sharpness. Here are some pointers on tripod shopping. A full blog entry on selecting the best tripod and head combination is on tap for a future post. Meanwhile, start here. Know the weight of the items the tripod needs to support. Tripods are rated for different amounts of supported weights, and a tripod designed to support 10 lbs (4.54 kg) will not do much good when supporting 40 lbs (18.14kg) of long lens, heavy camera, brackets, strobe and tripod head.

  • Ricoh Theta S in Astronomy Erwin Matys, Karoline Mrazek
    Ricoh Theta S in Astronomy Erwin Matys, Karoline Mrazek The Theta S camera is a valuable tool for a multitude of applications in astronomy and astrophotography. The Ricoh Theta S is a completely new type of camera. With two fisheye lenses it records a 360° full-sphere panorama in only one single shot. The recorded images can be further processed and viewed either with the player provided by the manufacturer or with any third-party panorama viewer or web service that supports full-sphere panoramas. When used stand-alone, the camera works only in automatic mode. Controlling the camera with the provided app on a mobile device gives the user much more options: Long exposures, timed exposure series, HDR shooting, image download, immediate viewing as a sphere on the mobile device, etc. For a more thorough introduction to the camera system and to view some terrestrial sample shots, visit the manufacturer's Theta S website theta360.com. Night Sky Suitability of the Theta S Image: Ricoh press release Before we discuss some astronomical applications in more detail, here are the basic facts about the camera's suitability for night sky photography: First of all, to use the manual mode and to set exposure time, ISO and white balance individually (as it is required for night sky photography) the camera must be controlled by the provided app running on a smartphone or tablet. This procedure is straightforward, the camera connects with the mobile device via Wi-Fi and the app is easy to understand and simple to use. For night sky photography the camera must be mounted on a tripod - for this, the camera provides a standard 1/4" thread in the base.

  • Using a Tripod
    Using a Tripod PUBLISHED - 28 APR 2016 Tripods were absolutely essential in the early days of photography, when exposures were made on glass plates with sensitivity as low as just ISO 1-3. These days, with many Nikon cameras able to capture a black cat in a coal cellar hand-held, thanks to the incredible leaps ISO capability has made, you might be thinking, do I really need a tripod? But the answer is still 'yes' for many types of images and situations – find out why in our comprehensive guide… So why use a tripod? Tripods come in handy for many different reasons - read on to find out when you might need one.... Sharper images The more pixels your camera's sensor packs, the more likely it is that tiny movements will be recorded as blur in your shots, so with a high-megapixel DSLR such as the D810, it's definitely worth using it tripod-mounted at anything under 1/125sec. Even at fast shutter speeds, blur is less likely with the camera rock-steady on a tripod (always using a cable release to fire the shutter) – and the larger you're intending to display your image, the more important this becomes. 1 of 5 Spot-on composition Using a tripod slows you down a bit, giving you the time and space to perfect your composition, getting everything level and double-checking the exposure, the depth of field, and what's in and out of frame. If you want to shoot multiple frames at different exposure settings, such as for high-dynamic range (HDR) images, using a tripod is the best way to ensure you keep the composition perfectly the same between frames; it also enables you to shoot panoramas with each component shot on the same plane.
