I would love to do some pano shots like that, Konador! My Nikon CP5700 has the tripod mount off center (not beneath the center of the lens), so a tripod mount won't work for me. I need to make a wood plate with a new tripod mount offset the correct amount so the lens will be centered at the rotation point of the tripod. I'll make an illustration so I don't confuse anyone... Anybody know where I can get some tripod mount all thread with the right size/thread spacing?
Thanks,
JD

Simply FYI, that shot was hand held. I didn't rest the camera on anything either. Just held it up to my eye and shot.

| That's a pretty cool shot, Konador, though the Phantom Dog is a bit disconcerting. |

lol, yeh, I wasn't really paying attention to the dog when I took the photos :P
Anyway, I can only learn from my mistakes :)

When you find the parts let me know so I can order one from you. If you make it adjustable (have the part the camera's on slide back and forth) it would fit any off-center camera -- you could sell these.

I'll get a design together and I know the parts are available somewhere... I just have to find them. I'll also look into some aluminum stock (maybe anodized) instead of a wood block...
I'll let you know when I have one together and working. It may be awhile... I'm getting ready to leave the DC area in the next few weeks. We don't know where we are going yet. So far, it could be Austin, TX, Portland, OR, Indianapolis, IN, Colorado Springs, CO, or Ireland. Being a consultant allows for lots of opportunites. Unfortunately, the duration is usually a year or less! I'll work on this project once I get settled somewhere!

You should print out the web page as documentation in case you decide to apply for a patent.
Also, look into making a front/back adjustment too, as you want to position the "film plane" over the axis of the tripod as well.

| A tripod socket size is what they call 1/4-20 ( pronounced quarter 20 ) You can get a small bag of them at Home Depot for like 2 bucks. Some call them blind nuts. They are made for wood, you drill a hole on the wood, and hammer the nut into place. Here is a link to what the nut looks like for illustration purposes. Look at the pic of the blind nut When I get back from out of town, I could show a pic of the easy wood tripod adapter I made for an antique camera I use that has no tripod socket. |
