Twin-Axis Adapter
The Twin-Axis Adapter is designed to sup port most
dig i tal and fi lm cam er as that are equipped with
fi sheye lens es, or will appeal to those us ers who de-
sire two in de pen dent axes of ad just ment. It can be
used with either the Standard Camera Bracket or
with the Compact Camera Bracket. The two axes
of ad just ment positions the lens in such a man ner
so as not to cap ture any more of the Ro ta tor Base
than nec es sary. When a cam era equipped with a
circular fi sheye lens is in stalled on the brack et, only
a small seg ment of the Ro ta tor Base will ap pear in
the im age. This fea ture makes the Twin-Axis Adapter
ideal for those us ing iPIX soft ware, Panoweaver and
oth er soft ware ap pli ca tions that use circular fi sheye
images. Both camera brackets support optional
Quick Release Camera Plates.
Spherical Camera Bracket

those soft ware ap pli ca tions that stitch mul ti ple
rows of im ag es, in clud ing up/down "cap" shots
such as REALVIZ Stitcher. The Spher i cal Camera
Brack et can also be po si tioned at a lev el zero
degrees, thus fulfi lling the same func tions as the
Standard Camera Bracket. You can also use the
Spherical Camera Bracket for shooting single-
row cylinders as well. An optional Arca-Quick
Release Camera Plate is also available.

The Standard Camera Bracket is designed
to sup port most dig i tal and fi lm cam er as in a
por trait ori en ta tion. Used pri ma ri ly to shoot
sin gle-row cy lin dri cal pan ora mas it is ad just ed
along the hor i zon tal arm to locate the camera
in the side-to-side ori en ta tion. There are three
slots in the brack et, that when used with var i ous
po si tion ing aids, pro vide the fore-aft ad just ment
of the cam era's nod al point, over the ro ta tion al
cen ter of the tripod head. Earlier models used
an aluminum bracket while recent models use a
high-strength composite material (inset). A Quick
Release Plate is optional.
Rotator Base (QuickPan )
This heavy-duty design is lighter and more com-
pact than previous models and the com pe ti tion.
The QuickPan bases employ interchangeable
indexing ClickDiscs or rings that support various
click-stop positions. These can be easily swapped
at any time and con trib ute to the light weight.
The indexing mechanism requires no lubrication
or ad just ments and has no loose parts. The base
con tains an integral cir cu lar bubble level and ac-
commodates either 1/4” or 3/8” tripod threads.
The latest QuickPan IV Ro ta tor Base (Aug 04)
will also ac cept older Kaidan camera brackets
(i.e. KiWi+, QuickPan).
