MiniKiss -> a new panoramic system for MicroFourThirds (made in Germany)
I just received following email form a german dealer:
“Well, our English version of our homepage is not up to date yet, but even the German one should be quite interesting for may of your forum members.
Have a look: http://pt4pano.com/de/products/minikiss
We will ship our MiniKISS nodal point adaptors and the complete panoramic system for MFT’s from end of next week – and maybe have opportunity, to update our homepage.”
The Minikiss comes in two verisons:
MiniKISS V1 for the following cameras:

Canon G10 Canon G10
Canon G11 Canon G11
Lumix GF-1 mit 20mm Pancake Lumix GF-1 with 20mm Pancake

2 years ago |Here’s a high resolution tiled, full spherical VR Panorama I shot with the GF1/20mm if you would like to see what the camera is capable of for this type of work:

Many more shots, including high resolution panoramas shot with the 14-45mm on my blog here:

You will need a head that can handle multiple rows however, I use the compact Nodal Ninja 3 myself for my GF1.

2 years ago |I probably should add that a full 360 with the Panasonic 20mm requires 14 shots around in portrait orientation. This will give you a proper amount of overlap for stitching the images.
The weird thing is- The “MiniRotor 101″ that they show in their product image and their website only has options for 12,10 & 8 clicks.
So I guess unless they change something- “No Pano for You!”

2 years ago |14 pics in portrait format for 360 degrees?
How many rows? At least two, no?
I use the Olympus 8mm FE.
And I need 6 around and 1 up for the Zenith.
And I typically just clone the nadir.

To cover a full 360×180 sphere with the GF1/20mm, I shoot-
1-7-14-14-14-7-1
With the 14-45 @ 14mm its-
1-10-10-10-1

Your site has some really nice work! I’ve been looking through it. Do you have any how to, tutorials on how you do you work (equipment, software, workflow)?

2 years ago |I am using the MiniKiss with a Sigma DP1 and can say it works great. Especially multi-row panoramas are easy to set up and everything fits perfectly. The biggest advantages are the small size and low weight of the head. In combination with the rotator it is a great tool.

What are your NN3 GF1 settings with that lens?
