Leo was off this week, delivery a keynote address in Dubai, so Alex Lindsay got to do the Turn the Table Tuesday. His pick: The GigaPan! I don’t have this device but Alex said it offered amazing results and is easy to use. He said it sets things automatically that would take a photographer endless hours to do – that assuming a photographer could do it at all! (Here’s some info from the GigaPan website: This gizmo is a unique robotic camera mount that empowers most small digital cameras with the ability to capture gigapixel images. It is easy to use and remarkably efficient. Simply set the corners of the panorama you want to capture using the LCD interface. The built in software works out how many photos your camera will need to take, hundreds or even thousands. Then the Epic begins snapping the photos, automatically organizing them in overlapping rows and columns. View list of tested cameras.
Compact enough to fit into a small camera bag and weighing only 3.5 lbs the Epic is versatile and travels well. You may attach a tripod for stability using the 1/4” tripod mount and level with the onboard bubble level.
