QuickPan III / IV Panoramic Tripod Head Overview
Thank you for purchasing a Kaidan
QuickPan III / IV Panoramic Tripod
Head. This manual is designed to help
you understand how to use your
QuickPan III / IV to create quality
panoramas. This document will be re-
vised from time to time and updated
versions can be downloaded from the
QuickPan III / IV page on the Kaidan
web site.
QuickPan III / IV Overview
The QuickPan III / IV family is built
around a sturdy and precise Rotator
Base with interchangable indexing
ClickDiscs (or rings QP-III). There
are several camera brackets that slide
and lock onto the Rotator Base. The
QuickPan IV rotator design super-
sedes the QuickPan III rotator and
uses a new flat 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 orientation, positions
the camera so that it rotates around
the optical center or nodal point of
the lens and provides a repeatable
and adjustable click-stop indexing
mechanism.
