2.3 Mount the GigaPan on a tripod
To ensure a steady series of images, use the GigaPan with a sturdy tripod fitted with a standard
1/4-20 tripod screw.
1. Set up the tripod. Ensure that the legs have a solid footing on the ground and that the tripod
is relatively level. If the tripod has a bubble level use it to help level the tripod. Tighten the
adjustment screws on the tripod
2. Remove the tripod quick release plate and attach it to the GigaPan's tripod mount at the
bottom.

3. Gently tighten the screw until the quick release plate is firmly attached to the GigaPan.
4. Clip the plate back onto the tripod.
5. Use the bubble level to center and level the GigaPan. Adjust the tripod legs and mount as
necessary.
6. You can also mount the Gigapan directly on to a tripod without a head. To do this,
remove the 1/4-20 thread adapter in the Gigapan tripod mount, and secure it to the 3/8"
stud on the top of your tripod.
