Indexing Rings that support any number of
click-stop positions from 2 through 22. The

How to install and remove the indexing rings and adjusting the indexing force

Indexing Rings
Indexing Rings
On thelower portion oftheblack
Indexing Ring, there is gold col-
ored pin visible through the hole
in the side. Insert the tip of a ball
point pen or a paper clip end into
theholeandpush thegoldpin in-
ward till the Indexing Ring drops
down, then slide the Indexing
Ring off the Rotator Base.
1) Slide the Indexing Ring onto
the Rotator Base from the bot-
tom, keeping the portion of the
Indexing Ring with the degree la-
bel facing up until it makes con-
tact with the brass plunger. The

the Indexing Ring.

2) Rotate the Indexing Ring to

Indexing Ring with the black
slanted alignment pin at the top
of the Rotator Base. The pin will
eventually go into the notch.
The screw, shown at left, can be
used to position the spring

ascrewdriver(or acoin)toadjust
the indexing or click-stop force.
Thespringplungerisset from the
factory,but youmayfindthat you
prefer a harder click-stop action.
Be sure to not overtighten the
plunger sothat themetalbodyof
the plunger would come in con-
tact with the indexing ring. Also
besurethat theplunger isnot set
deep enough as this will cause
excessive play in the indexing ac-
tion.

Spherical Camera Bracket - Camera Mounting
Mounting your camera on the Spherical Bracket
The Spherical Camera Mounting Bracket
has a rotating swing arm which is held
into position by large black locking knob.
The knob allows you to position the arm
and your camera from plus 90°to minus
90°.
There are camera mounting shoes (flat
shaped)andlugs(triangleshaped)that are
providedforyoutohelplocateandposition
the camera. These are also helpful when
you want to remove and replace the cam-
era and return it to the proper location.
Mounted on the swing arm is an adjust-
able camera mount. This mount can be
adjusted along the length of the swing
arm by loosening and tightening the
purpleclampingknob.Toremovethecam-
era mount, simply loosen the knob and
slide the mount off of the swing arm.
There is a spring-loaded plastic ballwhich
provides drag on the camera mount as
well as the camera bracket. When you re-
place the mount or the camera bracket
onto their respective arms, you’ll need to
push it sharply so as to overcome the
spring force.

Nodal Point
What is it and how do I find it?
This is one of the most frequently
asked questions when it comes to
stitcher-based panorama creation.

how your finger moves with respect
to the background. This relative
movement is due to the fact that
you’re not rotating your head around
your eye’s nodal point, which is
somewhere in the center of your
eyeball. Instead,you’re rotating about
your spine which is several inches to
the rear and off to one side. It is this
relative side-to-side motion that we
will strive to eliminate when setting
Simply put, the nodal point is the
point inside your camera where the
light rays converge and flip over.
When shooting a panorama it’s
necessary to rotate about this point

convenient indicator scales for this
purpose. These numbers represent

and lens combination. If you change

two objects and rotate the pan head

Cameras?
A rangefinder camera is a camera
where you look through a separate
viewfinder and not through the

the proper setting since the
viewfinder is a separate optical path
that doesn’t really“see”thesameimage
as the film.
Instead, you’ll have to start with the
bracket all the way to the front and
take pairs of test shots. Each pair will

At the end of this process you will be
ablelocatethepair ofimageswith the
least relative movement. If no single
image is optimum, you may need to
interpolate between two images to
find the closest value.
Shooting Panoramas
How do I begin?
is pretty common since many cameras have
mounting screws that are not in the center of
the base.Manycameras have screws offto one
end ofthe camera or at the edge ofthe camera
and this can cause the camera to not be pulled
down evenly onto the tripod head mounting
plate.
