Good explanation. Thanks for the details.
Glad it was helpful! 👍
Great video!
I also use a panoramic head and it's the only way to get an exact panorama.
For small panoramas, I also use a tilt-shift lens with left and right shift.
It's a change from those stupid videos where they try to demonstrate that it's simple with a ball head or worse with the hands.
Capturing a panorama is an art that requires patience.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi, great video thanks. How far apart do you need the poles to be able to accurately find the parallax point?
Also, when shooting night sky panoramas, do the same settings apply if I angle the camera high towards the Milky way arch for example?
just give it a try. the video shows it pretty well. 1-2 meters.
Do you use a index rotor for the panning
Not sure I even know what that is actually. 😅 the base of the gimbal has an index with 360* for measuring out the rotation of the head accurately. 👍
@@ViewfinderMastery an indexed rotor is one with click stops at given intervals. This isn’t really needed when shooting with a wide angle lens because it’s easy to have enough overlap. Going for more detail means using a longer focal length and stitching more images together, which is where accuracy becomes a factor. An indexed rotator allows me to collect image data with confidence that it can all be stitched together.
I’m running a micro four thirds camera in portrait orientation, i have two indexed rotating heads made my Sunwayfoto, 5 degree increments on horizontal and 8 degree increments on vertical . I bracket each shot to do +/-2 stop HDR images, and I shoot the whole scene multiple times, just in case something shows up in some part that I don’t want. It’s not unusual for me to have 300 frames which boil down to one finished pano.
So this method is better than using a gimbal, too? or is a perfect Balance gimbal like dji ronin sc2 also perfectly (nodal point and paralaxe)?
Sorry, don't understand your question Max. Can you clarify? 🙏
@@ViewfinderMastery i already researched, my gimbal is Not usable for nodal point panoramas, the weight is absolutely Not Balance if i möge the cam to the nodal point, and the gimbal Motors cant handle this weight, even it is the smallest lense. i bought now a ninja nodal 6
