5.7 Gigapixel photography

When generating gigapixel panoramas, both hardware and software components of the

workflow are used to their limits. Any error can lead to a non correctable stitching mismatch

and, in the worst case, the images need to be retaken.

To avoid such inconvenience please follow our recommendations both for hardware and

software specific to gigapixel photography:

Lens and camera mounting

In gigapixel photography it is quite common to use heavy tele-lenses. These are some

recommendations for mounting the camera and lens on the VR Drive:

• The maximum weight that can be mounted on the VR Drive is 20 kg. Please make sure your

material does not exceed this limit as this might damage the system.

•

When the size of the camera + lens exceeds the size of the L-bracket of VR Drive, it is very

important to switch on the VR Drive before attaching the camera and never create a program

capturing images close to the nadir or the zenith. This might damage either the lens, the

camera, the VR Drive or all of them.

• It is of course necessary to set the camera and lens in the correct nodal point. However, when

using long and heavy lenses, it is also important to balance the weight according to the centre

of rotation. So whenever possible, attach the L-Bracket to the lens directly as shown in the

image below

Attach the lens directly on the

nodal bench
