Gigapan Epic 100 Makes Panoramas Proper

Your camera’s panorama function has its place, but when you’re ready for the real deal, there’s the Gigapan Epic 100. The previous Gigapan model was designed for digital cameras, but the latest version accommodates DSLRs, making it a worthy tool for the professional or budding amateur photographer. More than just an automatic swiveling utility, the Gigapan bases its movement on the camera lens’ angle-of-view. It also requires calibration and reminds you to set white balance and exposure, ensuring a smooth transition between each frame. Everything gets when you get back to a computer. At $450, the Gigapan Epic 100 isn’t for everyone, but if you live by the beach or some other breathtaking spot that justifies sweeping landscape photos, it might be worth the investment. [via Wired]
