I live in France, near Grenoble. I'm also the developer (and french translator, of course) of [http://trac.gbiloba.org/papywizard Papywizard].

=== Configuration ===

* '''camera''': 20D
* '''Papywizard platform(s)''': Nokia 770/maemo OS2007HE, Tablet HP TC1100/linux
* '''interface(s)''': Tronisoft TTL-RS232 converter + AIRCable RS232-Bluetooth converter
* '''Merlin/Orion modification(s)''': custom crown

=== Usage ===

I shoot partial (hi-resolution or not) panos, and spherical panos. For partial panos, I use either a Canon 17-40@17mm, a Canon 50mm lens, or a Canon 70-200@200mm. For spherical, I mainly use a Tokina fisheye 10-17@10mm, but also a Canon 17-40@17mm.

I plan to use a pole for semi-aerial panos (partial and spherical).

A long-term project is also to replace the internal electronic to enhance the head (moving faster on short moves < 6°...), and for the fun!

I am a hobbyist living in New Zealand.

=== Configuration ===

* '''cameras''': Nikon D70, Nikon D80, FujiFilm S3 Pro
* '''Papywizard platform(s)''': Nokia 770/maemo OS2007HE
* '''interface(s)''': SmartFun BlueSMIRF Bluetooth-TTL converter + SONY 12v > 4.5v power supply
* '''Merlin/Orion modification(s)''': None yet, but I am using arca swiss rails to replace the stock L bracket.

=== Usage ===

I will use it for automated partial panos and the occasional spherical using primarily my Nikon 10.5mm FE, and lenses in the 18-50mm range. I really want to test the limits of the technology in the longer term, exploring time lapse panography, and eventually slit scan with a scanner based camera.
