Attack of the Panoramic Robots! or, The Search for a Motorised Panohead
Submitted by Ian Wood on Sat, 2006-09-09 02:32.For several years now, I've wanted to be able to shoot remotely-operated panoramas. Specifically panos from elevated positions, say 4-6 metres above the ground.
'Wait', I hear you say - 'what about pole panoramas where you stick a camera on the top of a long pole and turn it around?'. A great idea, but it doesn't work in small spaces due to positional difficulties. And I often shoot in the evening, with shutter speeds in the seconds - a challenge when it comes to poles that tend to, um, wobble a bit...
The unlikely solution? LEGO Mindstorms NXT.
