Yes but how can you shoot like this, I just wonder if anyone knows a cable that has a different angle for this purpose

No sorry my mistake it cannot be angled as the camera will hit the bracket, silly me

No No No this may be possible but not in this case
I could not stitch it in PTGUi I have to have the full 90deg or about, so lets wait until I get the new adaptor finished
By the way Nick is it at all possible to replace one of the unused snib (I only use 6 and 3 clicks) and make it longer so we can use it as a lock - wondefull idea!!
And with the lead for the remote trigger I will make a new one myself which is flat and have a different insertion angle - I will report to you when done

Erik,
you can use the dawntech di-GPS Pro L for D3x, it has a short cable which comes from the flash shoe and connects upright down without standing out. You can connect the remote on top of the GPS. I use this myself and i am pleased with it. Keeps last data when you go indoors.
www.dawntech.hk. Don't know if it is available in UK, i got mine in NL.
Heinz
Well thats great Heinz if you want to spend $300.00 on a trigger
I will find out who sell a remote with s different angle connector like on the GPS
Thanks
Erik

Hi Heinz
Finally got a couple of leads from DawnTech in Hong Kong and they are perfect, so thanks for your link
See the attachment for connection to a stereo Jack

Hi Erik,
thx for letting us know.
Heinz
I have the same problems with the Z and the N picture.
So i work with 0 degree for the horizontal pictures (6 stops). OK, the Z is -90 up and it works out. But for the Nadir-picture i found no solution. 65 degree down are not enough. What can i do?
Yes for the Nadir is a problem but there are 2 solutions
1/ If the ground is very simple, clone the it in Photoshop and patch it in Pano2VR
2/ if it is not then when you drop the camera to the 65 deg position move the tripod away about a metre and a half
That will give you a distorted photo of the ground, and to correct it you can do 2 things
A/ in Lightroom 3 or CS5 there is a wonderful new lens correction - really amazing and it is automatic
B/ Use PTLens it is cheap and very good
Once corrected you can patch it in Pano2VR
Erik
YOu can reverse the camera direction after you take the zenith shot. This way you get -90 deg nadir shot.Quote:

remove the lens ring from the QR clamp. point the lens to the ground and put it back to the QR clamp again. tighten the clamp. That is it.Quote:
