Hi all,
for remote controlling the panogear i know about the touch panel, and papywizard on pc.

What i need is a device that...
- has looooong batterie runtime (4 hours, better 8 when running things like papywizard).
- has the feature to work with predefined shooting pattern (like papywizard does).

My own laptop has a batterie runtime of sixty, with a little luck seventy minutes. And it is heavy and voluminous. So this is only an option in emergency case ;-(


What other devices do you use for controlling the panogear? Atom Netbook, iphone, android phone?

How do you power the Panogear mount so that it has 4-8 hour autonomy?

The TC controller gets it´s power from the head. So if you have plenty of power for the head you also have plenty of power for the controller . .

No need at all for pre-defined patterns - everything gets calculated on the spot in realtime.

And does it optimize the shooting pattern (lesser pictures) when you come near zenith or nadir? If yes, then this would be the hardware of my choice.
And ... does it generate the xml files for apg import? This is an important feature too.

Both items i already explained lenghty several times here - YES: it of course calculates lesser shots in upper and in lower rows and YES: it writes XML files for positioning in APG using the PapyWizard import.
I use to generate once a "dry" xml-file for each lens i use - this one i can use as a pattern each time i shoot using the according lens. To generate the files i let the head run at home without a camera and load down the xml.
The precision of the head is so high that it´s assured the "dry" recorded positions are absolutely the same as the ones it shoots in the field. I have a folder on my desktop which contains the xml for each lens for shooting spheres or angles.
Important is to use absolutely identical angles of course - with spheres there´s no problem: a sphere always is 360x180°

So i don´t even need to load down the xml - i already have one for each lens. OF COURSE THATS´S ONLY RELATED TO SHOOTING SPHERES OR ANGLES.

Nevertheless each shooting generates it´s own xml file for being used in APG.

Shooting moasics you load down from the controller the corresponding xml which contains all the start- and end-positions as well as all positions in between - no matter which angles and mosaics you shoot using which lens and
which size of output.

Hey, why didn´t i find the idea of a pre-made "dry" xml myself? Shame on me.

Not only spheres. Water, large unique areas, new buildings or renovated rooms without any furniture and only blank walls ... without xml support that´s always hard to stitch. Did i say hard? Impossible.

Hi Chris!

I ment: you need a pre-defined pattern only for spheres - because the positions related to a lens/sensor always are the same when shooting spheres. Shooting as angles it depends on how precisely you can set the angle and how precisely the head follows the setting . .

In mosaic-mode it´s unlikely that you have repeatedly the exactly identical mosaic by setting a start- and end-point related to your motif - so a pattern usually wouldn´t help here: you need to import the recorded xml-pattern from the controller.

remote controlling panogear, device with long batterie runtime:

The first complete and professional solution which allows to achieve automatic shooting sessions of tens, hundreds, thousands pictures simply and easily, in order to create high resolution panoramic pictures up to several gigapixels.

Panogear automates your shootings and allows you to design entirely new photo projects. Discover in here the features provided in the Panogear motorized head and its Papywizard software. Remote controlled, precise and versatile: Panogear will allow you to make automatic shootings and to access to new photographic possibilities. Designed to shoot gigapixel images, Panogear will also allow you to automate the creation of time-lapse, bracketing and all kinds of shootings.

Panogear can be connected on choice to a 12V external power supply, either 8 AA standard batteries or 2 rechargeable batteries Li-Ion SB-LSM 160, 7,4V, for an autonomy up to 11h. Batteries and universal charger (outlet, lighter and and adapter) included.

Control Panogear remotely with the help of the Papywizard application and the provided Bluetooth transmitter/receiver.
