Setting up the hardware
Tripod
Place the VR Drive Metric on top of a heavy-duty, solid tripod.
Avoid using any additional levelling equipment.
Most professional tripods come with a large 3/8'' thread.
Levelling
Adjust the tripod with its legs so that the spirit on the VR Drive Metric is
perfectly level.
Turn VR Drive on
Turn on the VR Drive Metric by pressing the "on" button. The camera will
now swing into horizontal position pointing forward.
Starting position + light meter
Open the 360° quick lock and turn the VR Drive Metric into its starting
position. When doing this, point the light meter into an area with average
light intensity. Avoid turning the light meter directly into the sun or into the
dark as otherwise the resulting panorama will be either under- or
overexposed.
Connect wifi remote control (optional)
Connect a device (smart phone or computer) for remote control by
enabling the wifi network (VR Drive) and by opening a browser window
with the following IP: 192.168.169.15. It is also possible to connect the VR
Drive Metric by ethernet cable to a computer.
Check camera settings + empty memory card
Make sure that all camera parameters are correctly set according to the
check-list provided in section 1.3. Delete the images stored on the memory
card to make space for new projects.
