Hi Mark,
Have a look in the Wiki:
http://www.autopano.net/wiki-fr/action/ … e_fixation
http://www.autopano.net/wiki-fr/action/ … rmItUp.jpg
You should heat-up the small screw with a welding-iron (300 °C) in order to smelt the glue (lock-it) who block the small screw on the axis then remove it ...
Not so easy to do ...

Hi Mark,
Do you have the Parallax working now ?
Claude Offline
Yes. Works great.
I've just got to sort out a better solution for the mounting rail (going to hardware store soon) and get a small plastic box for the parallax and solder the trigger cable (wires just twisted together for now).
I new the last part was arriving yesterday, so I took the day off to get it all done today :-)
Hopefully, I'll be able to go out in the next 24 hours and do a big pano.

This is a good idea to also put the BT device in the box, as there is no need for ventilation.
Here are 2 pictures of my config...
Hi Frederic
How are you mounting the camera to the merlin head. Did you make a special mount, or is that an old model, and what is the rail that you are using?

About the NPP, start to use the Merlin without too much modifications; except for indoor full-spherical panos, it is not a big problem.
here you can see my "modification": i just removed one rail of the "L" and put the camera onto the remaining single rail.
It works perfect - even indoors - with a 35mm, 28mm, 20mm and 18mm Nikkor lens.
The only additional item is a flatter camera-screw (mine is too big - but i only need a flatter one for very short lenses to push the rail further into the dovetail.
best, Klaus
P.S.: i´ll do the modification which Frédéric did: a flatter attachment-plate than the dovetail.
With that the "last millimeter" will be aligned.
Hi Klaus
Is the screw that uo are using a stock item for some manufacturer?

Mark, I made special crown (Trekker117 did the drawing, the one you can find arround here). Then, I have a Manfrotto rail (don't remember the name).

Hi Mark,
Several solutions are possible, depending your camera/lenses combinations: (you will probably have to remove your BG-E2 grip):
http://www.autopano.fr/wiki/images-fr/0 … pub_V2.pdf
See also the Wiki (french) about that, you will find the descriptions of most of them !
http://www.autopano.net/wiki-fr/action/ … %A9canique
I have a Canon 40D wich has a "A dimension" of 43 mm and I personaly use the "Vertical/Horizontal separation" (= Cales de décalage), this is a non-destructive solution, see the description ... (the camera on the pics is the mine ...)
The only thing is to protect the "encoder" from the external light, this is more sensitive with this modification ... I use a black plastic cap ...
Anyway, also if you don't use this separation technique, you MUST protect the encoder from the light entering trough the "bubble level" (A black tape on the back of the bubble level is OK in this case!)
Normally, for your 30D who has a A dimension of 40 mm, you don't need any modification ...
The only limiting factor will be the diameter of your lenses and in this case the crown modification will be mandatory !

Hi Mark!
From Manfrotto you can get several kinds of camera-screws. They have a very flat one which works fine in the rail.

Thanks Klaus
Will see what I can find this weekend

Hello,
someone could help me how to test a IR Gentled for Nikon D70 without heads Merlin?
Thank you
Bonjour,
Quelqu'un pourrait m'aider pour tester une commande IR Gentled pour Nikon d70 sans la tête Merlin?
Merci d'avance
Jean-PierreWhich Gentled IR model do you have? - I have a Gentled-Jump for my D40.
Hello together
I'm really new to photographing panoramas with the Merlin. As i use a D70 to take the photos, which hasn't go a wire connecter to take the photos, i'd like to use the Gentled-Jump as well.
But now, i have one little problem, if i set the autofocus on the D70 to AF-S, the camera triggers only if the images is sharp, if the autofocus can't set sharp, it won't take an image. Especially when shooting the nadir, where the tripod is in the way, the camera can't set sharp, so at the end when shooting is finished, i miss a few pictures.
I also tried to set the autofocus to AF-C but his also doesn't work really. It triggers now everytime a photo, also if its not unsharp, but it doesn't focus anymore on any picture, so at the end of the shooting there are just all photos unsharp...
Any ideas what to do?
Thanks and sorry for the probably bad english, i'm 16. 
Greetings from Switzerland

Sascha,
It is normally recommended that panos are shot using manual focus.
