Panoramic Aid

Sparhawk · 09-10-2006, 13:57

Found this helpful {to me} aid to take panoramic photos, Small enough for your pocket or bag it fits onto your tripod and lets you take 12 photos with 2.5 degree overlap and for £9.99 wont break the bank. It is strong enough to take a SLR with a zoom lens. Its called Panamatic and is on 7dayshop.com on their specials list

Thanks Ian
There was me thinking I needed a needle and thread

one question though, As a beginner do you think an overlocker would be beyond my skills? there does seem to be a lot of threads that are needed with it and I am on a pension

Still you are the expert so I will get one on order ASAP and see how I get on.
Thanks for the tip and website

Not half as much as us! Thank goodness for Moderators!

And I know I'm going to so regret asking this, but where does the camera go?

On top, obscuring the bubble and angle indicator?

Sparhawk · 27-10-2006, 16:08

Yes and no Markulous
It does screw onto the top but the camera sits far enough forward to show the spirit bubble and rear of the angle indicator. as long as yo have a sturdy tripod {unlike me at this time

} setting the level is easy with the spirit bubble then as the device is set to do up to 12 shots for full 360 degree {with a 2.5 degree overlap} the 180 degree mark shows at all times as you move the camera for each shot. I would not say that it will solve all situations but for me {as a novice} i have found it has aided me in both keeping horizons level and in getting a constant overlap on each shot
