360° Panoramic Head and Sky Trail combo

 

The 360° Panoramic Head and Sky Trail are available in combination as a motorised panoramic system to allow time-lapse imaging and video recording with both rotational and linear motion in continuous sequence.  Available in 3 models (100-C, 150-C and 200-C) with twin analogical timers and variable spped motor.  With Sky Trail it is possible to take exposures from a minimum time of 4.5 minutes to a maximum time of 24 hours, with a 1 minute pause between images over a usable length of 180 cm in the Model 200-C.  With the Panoramic Head, it is possible to take exposures from a minimum full rotation time of 2 minutes to a maximum full rotation time of 12 hours, with pauses of 1 minute between exposures.  This allows the possibility of taking exposres of elements moving quickly or slowly, resulting in never seen before video sequences.  The simple and intuitive electronics allow real time adjustment during the exposures.  Power requirements are low and high power batteries are not needed.  The axis of rotation is supported by twin ball bearings and a clutch mechanism allows quick pointing of the camera. All models are equipped with limit switches which also allow the carriage to reverse direction, thus allowing continuous cycling.  Look at the HD video HERE and the normal resolution video Here.
