If your camera does not have a hot shoe, then you’ll need to level the camera
another way. If the camera has a flat, level surface, then you can use a bubble
level. You should be able to locate a small level at a hardware store. If your
there are no level surfaces, then you may have to resort to “eyeballing”.
STEP 4: RECORD YOUR RESULTS
After you’ve discovered the two location dimensions, be sure to record the
settings. The QuickPan camera bracket has a convenient indicator scales for
this purpose. These numbers represent the nodal point for this given camera
and lens combination. If you change cameras or lenses, this procedure may
have to be repeated.
Looking through the
viewfinder align a
close object (brick
wall) with a faraway
object (telephone
pole). As you rotate
the camera from
side-to-side there
should be no relative
movement between
the two objects as
shown to the right.
If, as shown to the
right, the two objects
move with respect to
one and another in
the viewinder, slide
the camera fore or
aft in order to elimi-
nate this movement.
Here, the telephone
pole has moved be-
hind the brick wall.
