The KiWi Family
Twin-Axis Camera Bracket (Optional)
The Twin-Axis Camera Bracket is de-
signed to support most digital and film cameras
that are equipped with fisheye lenses, and will
also appeal to those users who desire two
independent axes of adjustment. The two axes of
adjustment positions the lens in such a manner
so as not to capture any more of the Rotator
Base than necessary. When a camera equipped
with a circular fisheye lens is installed on the
bracket, only a small segment of the Rotator
Base will appear in the image. This feature
makes the Twin-Axis Camera Bracket
ideal for those using iPIX software, Panoweaver
(www.easypano.net) and other software appli-
cations that use fisheye images.
Standard Camera Bracket
The Standard Camera Bracket is designed
to support most digital and film cameras in a
portrait orientation. Used primarily to shoot
single-row or cylindrical panoramas, the
Standard Camera Bracket can be adjusted
along the horizontal arm of the Rotator Base
in order to locate the camera in the side-to-
side orientation. There are three slots in the
bracket, that when used with various positioning
aids, provide for the fore-aft adjustment of the
camera's optical center, or nodal point, over the
rotational center of the tripod head.
KiWi Rotator Base & Accessory Pouch
The primary component in the KiWi family is
the Rotator Base. The base uses interchange-
able indexing discs called ClickDiscs that
provide various click-stop positions. The base
contains an integral circular bubble level and ac-
commodates either 1/4” or 3/8” tripod threads.
Included with every KiWi is a convenient Ac-
cessory Pouch. The pouch is used to store your
ClickDiscs, set screw wrench and can also be
used to store memory cards and other small
items. The pouch has a handy "Number of Shots"
chart which will help you determine which disc
to use and how many shots to take.
Introducing the KiWi Components
Optional Quick Release Camera Brackets
The Standard and Twin-Axis Camera Brackets
have optional Quick Release Camera Brackets.
Based on the popular Arca-Swiss standard, the
Quick Release Brackets provide an elegant and
lightweight solution for quick and repeatable
installation and removal. Arca-compatible camera
plates are available for most popular cameras.
The plates typically attach to the bottom of your
camera using the tripod mounting thread. Most
plates have 1/4-20 tapped holes to still provide
a way for you to attach the camera to a tripod.
This option is ideal for those photographers who
shoot with multiple cameras or need to remove
the camera from the head for conventional
photography.
