Twin-Axis Camera Bracket (Optional)
Mounting your camera on the Twin-Axis Camera Bracket
The Twin-Axis Camera Brack-
et is offered as an optional choice
when purchasing a KiWi. You can
also purchase it separately. The Twin
Axis Bracket has two separate axes
of adjustment. This makes it easier to
slide the camera into the proper posi-
tion in order to locate the nodal point
over the axis of rotation. There are
two sliding and locking adjustments
with purple locking knobs.
This bracket is also the best choice
for those who use fisheye lenses. Since
the camera's optical axis is inline with
the main horizontal plate, the only
part of the tripod head which appears
in the shot with a circular fisheye lens
is a small semicircular portion of the
base.
Included with every Twin-Axis
Camera Bracket are four addi-
tional ClickDiscs (2, 3, 4 and 5 posi-
tion) that are better suited for fisheye
panoramic photography.
The Twin-Axis bracket has three
threaded holes for the Camera Knob.
Use the hole that is most appropriate
for your particular camera.
The modular construction of the
Twin-Axis bracket makes it easy to
loosen the adjustment axes and quickly
remove the various elements. There
are convenient measurement scales in
both axes to ease reassembly.
An optional Arca-style Quick Release
plate is available as an option for the
Twin-Axis bracket. It can be purchased
with the bracket or purchased and
installed at any time.
