#LOW BULK PANORAMA STITCHER PRO#

Just above all these controls is one of the most important features: a built-in bubble level. Most video game controllers are more complex than this unit. A multi-directional controller sits in the middle, flanked on both sides by a X button and an OK/Power button. The controls for the LCD are easy enough to get accustomed to. The unit has a base, which contains the mount for a tripod, which contains the brains of the unit, accessed by an easy to read LCD. Lastly, it has to have a large range of motion in order to capture 360 degree shots. Second, those gears are precise, this is not a cheap unit by any stretch. First, it has to house a battery pack to move all the gears when you are out in the wilds. As you can see in the pictures, the unit is sizable, and for good reason.

#LOW BULK PANORAMA STITCHER PRO#

That was my first impression of the Gigapan EPIC PRO upon opening the box and taking a look. I was lent a Gigapan by the folks at BorrowLenses.Com to take to Hawaii for some testing and this review. Unlike a panorama where a wide or semi-wide angle lens is used to take a few shots and stitched together in a computer, the idea with the Gigapan is to zoom in and get as much detail as you like, then stitch with their software that understands how the panorama was shot. There is programming to be done first, but once all the parameters are set, the unit will pan and tilt to create proper coverage for intense panoramas. What is a Gigapan EPIC PRO? It’s a robot that takes gigapixel (one billion or more) photos for you. And if you want to draw looks and questions, grab a Gigapan EPIC PRO and put it on your tripod.
