Description
The EPIC 100 Robotic Camera Mount from GigaPan is a unique robotic camera mount that empowers most large point & shoot and small digital SLR 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 100 begins snapping the photos, automatically organizing them in overlapping rows and columns.None The following equipment is needed for using the EPIC 100: Tripod (capable of supporting the EPIC 100 and your camera) 6 x AA NiMH batteries (rechargeable ones are preferred) Digital camera Memory card (4GB is recommended)None If you're taking a panorama with fixed focus and fast shutter, you can capture over 20 pictures per minute. Indoor or night-time shots require longer shutter times and can take longer. Using the 2-second camera delay allows the GigaPan Imager and tripod to settle before each picture.None The GigaPan Imager can be used in snow, rain and wind. Keep the Imager and camera as dry as possible, and be sure to secure your tripod so it will not tip over if bumped or pushed by wind.None An easily adjustable metal plate accommodates larger cameras.None The EPIC 100 provides elevation of the camera plate from the imager body 1.3" (33.5 mm) to allow a greater range for camera pitch (tilt or elevation). Gearing for the pitch is 15:1 which allows greater holding torque and fine precision movements.None The EPIC 100 supports 360 panoramic and 60-90 tilt ranges-of-motion.None A Start/Delay function enables a timer delay before each panorama capture begins. The timer can be set to 1, 15, 30, 60, 120, or 300 seconds. Not only does this provide time for the equipment to stop its vibrations, it gives you the option to include yourself in the panorama.None The EPIC 100 has a multiple shutter which allows the GigaPan unit to take up to 9 captures at each image location.None The EPIC 100 supports shutter actuation through the remote shutter port that is available on most DSLR cameras. A separate cable (not included) is required depending on camera make/model.None The Pause and Scroll functions give you the ability to recapture a specific photo or photos in the sequence.None The EPIC 100 moves your camera with precise incremental movements of 0.36 .None The device is robust and durable.None A stainless steel mounting arm minimizes flex and vibrations.None It is easy to navigate the EPIC 100's menu with a highly visible LCD screen.None The built-in bubble level lets you quickly position the EPIC 100 for a perfect horizon.None Scale and marking features enable repeatable adjustment.None The anti-slip camera pad keeps your equipment from slipping out of position.None It features a sleek design with strong cast-aluminum chassis.None The Epic has a battery tray that is easy to remove and refill.None The controllable backlit screen can be set to "On" or "Auto" for low-light conditions, or "Off" for daylight conditions, minimizing battery drain.Compatibility Canon: PowerShot A620, PowerShot A630, PowerShot A640, PowerShot A650, PowerShot D10, PowerShot D20, PowerShot G10, PowerShot G11, PowerShot G12, PowerShot G1 X, PowerShot G15, PowerShot Pro1, PowerShot S1 IS, PowerShot S2 IS, PowerShot S3 IS, PowerShot S5, PowerShot SX1 IS, PowerShot SX10 IS, PowerShot SX20 IS, PowerShot SX30 IS, PowerShot SX40 IS, PowerShot SX50 IS, PowerShot SX500 IS, EOS M Casio: Exilim Pro EX-F1, Exilim EX-FH20 Fujifilm: FinePix HS25EXR, FinePix HS30EXR, FinePix S4200, FinePix S4500, FinePix S5100, FinePix S5200, FinePix S5500, FinePix S5600, FinePix S5700, FinePix S6000FD, FinePix S6500FD, FinePix S7000, FinePix S8000FD, FinePix S8100FD, FinePix S9000, FinePix S9500, FinePix SL300, X-S1, X10, X-E1, X-Pro1 Kodak: Easyshare Z612, Easyshare Z812 IS, Easyshare X885, Easyshare Z950, Easyshare Z1015 IS Leica: DigiLux 1, DigiLux 2, Di
