Rail Settings D2X and Nikon 12-24 NN5

[Marshall]

Hello,

Checking in to see what people have found works best for this setup. Want to do 360's with 6 shots at first.

Thanks

The fov at 12mm will be approx 67 x 90 degrees. So with the camera in portrait orientation, there will be insufficent overlap for taking only 6 shots for a 360 panorama. You would need 8, say. The recommended minimum for a full 360 would be: N, 8 images every 45¬? at -30¬? pitch, 8 images every 45¬? at +30¬?, Z (from www.vrwave.com ).

Hello John and Thanks,

If i am understanding you correctly I would shoot 8 images with the NN5 horizontal arm pitched at the 30 marker up and the the same in the down position.?
