| CYLINDRICAL PANORAMA |

|
The 303 pan head permits the photographer
to take sequential constant-angle shots around a single axis with
his or her camera either in portrait or landscape position, and
with the nodal point of the camera/lens in line with the centre
of panoramic rotation to ensure that parallax effects do not cause
problems during image stitching. It is built around (and includes)
the 300N panoramic unit, adding a system of sliding horizontal and
vertical plates for accurate positioning of the camera nodal point.
The plates have engraved index rules to make subsequent repositioning
easier. The included quick release elbow bracket lets the photographer
use the portrait orientation of the camera gaining vertical field.
The system is suitable for most 35mm SLR still
and digital stills cameras using wide-angle or standard lenses.

-
Double sliding plate with 80mm
of adjustment for precise nodal point positioning.
