Professional spherical bracket (360 degree pano bracket)

Horizontal adjustment*: 1.4cm – 7.4cm from entrance pupil position, with off-axial adapter
Axial Adjustment**:
Off-axial Adjustment:
Vertical Headroom***: 9.6cm vertical clearance from entrance pupil position.
*This value corresponds to the height of your camera-lens combination from the camera base to
the lens axis. The maximum value of the horizontal adjustment will be extended by 0.5cm with
future modified parts.
**This value corresponds to the distance of your tripod mount away from the entrance pupil
position. The minimum value of the axial adjustment will be reduced from 3.9cm to 2.8cm with
future modified parts for cameras with tripod mount off the lens axis or when the EPDM
adapter is used.
***This value limits the maximum size of the camera to be mounted on the bracket. For certain
camera-lens combinations, there may not be enough clearance for the lens to point straight
upwards or downwards. This will limit the vertical field of view of your final panoramic images
and prevent you from getting a full 360 degree spherical image or virtual tour. The actual effect
of this limitation depends on the size of your camera-lens, the field of view of your lens and
hence the focal length in use and also the entrance pupil position. Other factors being constant,
the wider the field of view of the lens, the less the problem is. But typically, you can get a
vertical field of view exceeding 150 degree in the final panoramic image.
