Elevated pano helpHello,
I've been requested to create a 360x180 virtual tour of a factory assembly area. It consists of rows of desks where workers sit and assemble electronic components. From ground level, all of the desks are at the same height. The best viewpoint will be three or four metres above the ground. I thought about a pole pano, but the factory is not well lit. Would the pole be steady enough to support a heavy camera with a slow shutter speed? A cherry picker would have a guard rail which would interfere with the image. A scaffold platform at that height would be too dangerous to stand on without any safety rails. I'd be grateful for any suggestions!

Re: Elevated pano helpTry something like this Impact Heavy Duty Light Stand.
Here's the link showing it a B&H Photo. http://tinyurl.com/stand22 You could also rent one that's bigger and stronger if needed. The clamp on the lowest section I would leave loose and clamp a clamp above it after extending the tube, this way it would be free to rotate with your camera on top.

Re: Elevated pano helpHi Willy,
Thanks for the links - stunning panoramics! I've made a 3m pole from a lighting stand and centre column tripod. Haven't tried it yet, but will give it a test run today. I am curious about the cherry picker platform. How did you rotatate about the NPP? Did you move the camera, or the cherry picker?

Re: Elevated pano helpThanks all for the help on this. I've made a 3m pole from a lighting
stand and a centre column tripod. It has a very stable base with the tripod legs spread, but the top sways around a lot and takes a long time (minutes) to settle down. It will be fine for indoor use with no breeze. But outdoors could be more of a problem! Any hints on how to dampen down the swaying?

Re: Elevated pano helpRobert when you are a bit away from near objects the NPP is of no big
issue anymore: here some examples: at least about 15m off NPP http://homepage.mac.com/wkaemena/FS/Muenchen/Olympiaturm/ see the platform http://homepage.mac.com/wkaemena/FS/Muenchen/Olympiaturm3/ and the cherry picker was about 1.5m off NPP > http://homepage.mac.com/wkaemena/FS/Innotrans2008/InnotransOutdoor/ > Making some shots from the guard-rail around the platform. or here http://homepage.mac.com/wkaemena/FS/Berkeley2007/Campanile/ and the corresponding platform http://homepage.mac.com/wkaemena/FS/Berkeley2007/Campanile3/ So don't worry about NPP when in heights . This is also valid from a 3 m pole a little bit swaying makes no big difference.

Re: Elevated pano helpThanks Eduardo, my stand is very similar to the Manfrotto 7.3m version
except it is only 3m in maximum height. This is enough for my application. It wasn't very steady at maximum elevation, so I dismantled the lower column and inserted it into a Manfrotto centre column tripod. Now it has three very stable legs (about 5ft high when spread) and another (approx) 2.5m above this. Since it's a one off job, and indoors, I will probably just wait for the swaying motion to die down before releasing the shutter (using Canon LC-4 remote control).
