The Pano-3 Panoramic Head from Sunwayfoto is made up of eight parts that combine to make a unique and versatile pano head. Built upon a leveling base, the head includes an indexing rotator that allows you to pan at precise degree increments, a discal clamp to hold the 240mm long horizontal rail. This rail has dovetails on the bottom and the top so that it can accept the DMC-200 vertical rail. On the vertical rail is another discal clamp with a panning clamp with a 200mm long rail attached to it. All together, these parts work together to allow for taking precise panoramic images.
This Bundle Includes:
The Sunwayfoto DYH-66i Leveling Base features a 2.59" diameter base that supports medium format 6x6 and 6x7 still cameras. The base features an offset bubble level to keep your horizons straight.
The DYH-66i has a 1/4"-20 screw at the top and 3/8"-16 mounting hole at the bottom, for direct attachment to many tripods. Completely constructed of metal (including the control lever), the leveling base weighs just 10.22 oz.
The Sunwayfoto DDP-64M Indexing Rotator is a rotating head that allows you to pan at precise degree increments. This enables you to capture a series of photos – at stop intervals that range from 5° to 90° – that you'll later stitch into a panoramic masterpiece (possibly involving high-dynamic range capture as well).
Remove and insert the attached key to easily change the detent (stop) interval. The DDP-64M features independent locks for the top platform and for the pan base. You can also use this indexing rotator as a traditional panning base. With a 22 lb load capacity, the DDP-64M supports most camera/lens combinations.
The Discal Clamp 64mm from Sunwayfoto is a Swiss-Arca-compatible integral screw-knob clamp with an anodized black finish. It has a captive knob, safety-stop grooves, and a hollowed-out design that reduces the weight of the clamp. You can use an M6 screw to mount it to an AS-style ball head, and it will accept any standard Arca-Swiss quick-release plate. This Discal Clamp also has an integrated bubble level.
The Sunwayfoto DPG-2416 Multi-Purpose Rail is an improved multi-purpose rail with a high-contrast bubble level, and increased length of 9.44", and rail laser reference scale with 1mm increments on both sides. It's compatible with a wide range of 135/120 film cameras, as well as digital SLR cameras, and provides a substantial back/front adjustment, which saves you from having to move the tripod for relatively small shifts in placement.
The Sunwayfoto DMP-200 Rail Nodal Slide is an Arca-type compatible quick-release rail that is used to accurately find the nodal point of your lens when used in panoramic photography. In close-up photography, the rail allows for easy front-to-back adjustment. It has a laser-engraved scale on both sides of the rail to help accurately adjust the rail and find the nodal point. A strap slot allows for fastening a camera strap for increased comfort and security, and safety stop screws prevent accidental release from the clamp. The rail's hard-anodized finish helps protect it from bumps and scratches.
The DDH-03 Large Panning Clamp from Sunwayfoto allows you to properly stitch a set of panoramic images and produce a super-sized panorama or VR movie, with a completely level horizon line. It has an adjustable, Arca-Swiss compatible clamp and removable bottom dovetail. It is precision-machined from solid aircraft-grade anodized aluminum alloy, with a high-contrast bubble level built right in. The entire clamp is made of solid-metal, including everything from the base to the knobs, giving it high locking strength and durability. The scale for horizontal rotation has 0-360° laser-engraved index marks in increments of 2.5°, and the aligned scale on the quick-release plate accurately controls the nodal point - for more accurate and efficient panoramas at different focal lengths.
Aircraft-Grade All-Metal Construction
This clamp, with its all-metal construction, has been precision-machined from solid aircraft-grade aluminum alloy with a durable anodized finish. This includes everything from the panning head, clamp and mount thread, to the knobs and dovetail.
Adjustable and Removable Arca-Swiss Compatibility
With the Arca-Swiss compatible clamp on top, this also comes with a removable dovetail compatible with Arca-Swiss standard quick-release plates.
Steady and Accurate
Always know your horizon line with the built-in high-contrast bubble level, and keep your camera rock steady with the 3/8"-16 mount thread - which can attach to compatible stands or tripods.
Laser-Engraved Index Marks
Get just the right angle using the clamp's laser-engraved centering index marks for horizontal rotation in increments of 2.5° from 0 to 360°.
The Discal Clamp 58mm from Sunwayfoto is a Swiss-Arca-compatible integral screw-knob clamp with an anodized black finish. It has a captive knob, safety-stop grooves, and a hollowed-out design that reduces the weight of the clamp. You can use an M6 screw to mount it to an AS-style ball head, and it will accept any standard Arca-Swiss quick-release plate. This Discal Clamp also has an integrated bubble level.
The Sunwayfoto DMC-200 Vertical Rail With "On-End" Clamp is compatible with all Arca-Swiss-style standard quick-release plates. It has an "on-end" integral clamp that slides onto a Multi-Purpose Rail (not included) to create a quick-mount component for vertically mounting your camera. A strong rail cross-section provides good stability.
