TAKING THE PHOTOS (CONTINUED)
Using the twin-axis bubble level on the bottom of the Vertical Bracket, ob-
serve it while you level the tripod. Of course, this task is much easier if your
tripod also has a tilt head.
Once the tripod and QuickPan™ are level, now is the time to double check to
see if the camera is level in elevation. If it needs to be adjusted, loosen the
Captive knob just a slight amount and tilt the camera accordingly. Be sure
not to change the Fore-Aft dimension. Tighten the Captive knob.
Rotate the camera so that the lens is facing the direction you want to take
your first shot. Depending on whether the stitching software that you’re us-
ing prefers having the photos taken in a clockwise or counterclockwise se-
quence, you’ll have to either count the number of shots being taken from your
start position.
At this point, you’re ready to shoot the photos. As you shoot around the circle,
try to avoid capturing any moving objects that might come into your field of
view. There is no harm in waiting, for example, while a person walks past
before shooting the photo.
You may also want to check with the software developer of the stitching soft-
ware that you’re using to get their recommendations for exposure settings
and other camera settings.
We hope you enjoy shooting your panoramas and if you have any questions
or problems using our equipment, please let us know. We would also like to
see the results of your work and would be glad to consider placing your work
on our website, or to put a link to your website as well.
Thank you,
The Kaidan team.
