PANORAMIC, CUBIC & SPHERICAL VR PHOTOGRAPHY:
IT'S TIME TO BROADEN YOUR HORIZONS

Since the inception of photography over 150 years ago, photographers have continuously sought better ways to bring realism and a sense of intimacy to their viewers. While panoramic photography has been with us for almost 80 years, recent imaging technologies and software have taken the panorama to yet another level, allowing capture of complete 360° x 360° cubic and spherical views of the scenes we photograph, along with the ability to display them in powerfully immersive environments. Cubic and spherical panoramas expand upon the traditional flat or cylindrical panorama. They allow for documentation of the complete environment around you and provide a way to virtually immerse your audience into your vision. They even offer a new means of artistic expression. Natural spaces and architectural projects can be accurately and interactively visualized by audiences who may never actually visit these locations in person. Virtual reality (VR) panoramas and object movies provide superior means to entertain, educate and inform, as well as to market and sell commercial products. Manfrotto's new 303SPH head allows photography of multi-row cubic, spherical and cylindrical panoramas, along with VR object movie sequences. It is the latest addition to Manfrotto's celebrated family of pan heads, tripods and camera supports that will change the way you photograph your world.

OBJECT PANORAMA

Use the 300N base as a turntable to spin a 3D object through sequential constant angle movements in front of your camera until a 360° cycle has been completed. Superimpose the images in the correct order using your chosen software to allow viewers to see the object from all angles.

CYLINDRICAL PANORAMA

Use the 303, 303PLUS or 303SPH head to spin your camera around its nodal point through a longitudinal sequence of constant angle shots on the same level which can be stitched together (basically... placed edge to edge) using your chosen software to create a single row "cylindrical" panorama.

SPHERICAL PANORAMA

Use the 303, 303PLUS or 303SPH head plus a 185° fisheye lens. Take two photos at 180° to each other, then stitch them together to create a 360° x 360° spherical panorama.

MULTI-ROW / CUBIC PANORAMA

Use the 303SPH to spin your camera around its nodal point through both latitudinal and longitudinal sequences of constant angle shots which can then be stitched together and composited to create a multi-row "cubic" 360° x 360° panorama.
