I'll take the lack of a reply as a NO, you can't move the Panogear mount in reverse with the TC Controller.  Is it possible to do so when shooting a grid pano using papywizard?

Help, please,

How does one move the Panogear head backwards when taking a Grid panorama using the Hand Controller?  I can't find any instruction in the Panogear Manual.  I've tried all kinds of combinations of button pushing, but have found no recourse to this problem.

Thanks,
Richard

Thanks Andrew. 

I'll download the newest version, but I'll have to use my desktop, since I have no portable device.

Although one cannot perform that function remotely with a GigaPan model - yet - it was very easy to accomplish even with the pilot version (I've been at it since the beginning - one of the initial 7).  I don't have an Epic-Pro yet, but I do have access to one.  A colleague and I will evaluate the Promote Control, too, using his 5D2.

I'm also conducting experiments to evaluate a couple of hypotheses I have about setting the NPP and using values stored in the TC controller.  I'll report on the results in another thread.

Aloha,
Richard

If you mean 'Can you pause the shoot and reposition then resume shooting again' then yes you can do that with Papywizard.

You can pause the shot then relocate the head moving in either direction - in other words you could skip forwards as well as backwards - to any shooting position and then resume the shooting sequence; you can do this in either Mosaic (grid) or Preset shooting modes.

Papywizard will run in simulation mode with a merlin head so why not downlaod it and see how this Pause/Resume works? - choose the latest development version for you preferred platform:

Hey Dick!

I must confess to not understand what you mean! I´ll try to interprete: TC of course runs the Merlin in reverse - it shoots one row left to right and the next one right to left.
Or what do you mean?

If you mean just to MOVE without shooting: it´s also possible by using the direction-"buttons" before starting to shoot.

I guess you can´t. But you can stop and proceed after a while when your problem is gone. In PapyWizard you can go back to which position you like and proceed from there as i remember, can you?

sorry for late comeback...

did check the handcontroller. in all three modes you can pause and resume the current walkthrough. But if back arrow is pressed the current walkthrough is stopped and resuming is not possible. So going back to redo a image at earlier position is not possible.
