1) would you prefer to have a QRP-hold fixed on the arm?
2) would you prefer to attach the camera just with the camera-screw?
klausesser wrote:Thanks, men! Never dealt with that . . I never used CRPs on any of my cameras. One reason i was asking is: there´re some plates providing a "lip" for exactly aligning the body. That´s fine of course.
best to you, Klaus

Given that one will want to use what they currently have, i think an open system will be the best and also easier for you guys (You and Josef)

Hi Henrik!
In fact it´s Josef - i just assist to him in terms of communicating. I also tend to either deliver what the client want by ordering a dedicated rail or a common rail which the client can configure him-/herself by attaching the mount he/she wants.
The plate with a lip definitely is preferable - as i learned myself when shooting architecture.
best, Klaus

I needed a quick solution for motorized head, the fellows at Kolor were real cool and got me one a.s.a.p.
It will get the job done but I was quite disappointed in the quality.
- I had to remount the bubble level to make it true.
- Even with a small camera (Nikon D7000) there is a tilt that needs to be corrected so I can not use the the rig without a camera quick release that I need to "shim" with .8 mm to make the camera perfectly level.
- Last but not least, I have always been working with a Manfrotto head that allowed me to center the camera in pivot point. This will never be possible with the Panogear. Infinity shots should not be an issue, but shooting in a car ....
Was I just a bit unlucky and got a lemon or am I too demanding?
If I push a bit and mount my D3x and a 300 mm, I expect to have to shim more :-(
*** just a few questions, not a complaint :-) if I wanted absoult there is the great Clauss at something like 5k €

caretaker360 wrote:Hello Klaus,
I guess the best way to make your system as universal as possible is to have both standard screw sizes. Each shooter can choose his mount to match his style or what he already has. My preference is for the http://www.manfrotto.com/category/8709.0.0.0.0/Video plate from Manfrotto. Very large camera surface and dual bubble levels. It is however made for the 3/8 tripod mount.
Taking pre- orders? :-)
