Hello!
NEW: MK PanoMachine 5.0 HS (High Speed) starts at 2 sec. / 360° - faster than usual!
Additionally to the production of „normal“ 360° panoramas in the stitching procedure it is possible for the first time to move the camera very fast. Thanks to its fast speed it is feasible to photograph street scenes, city life, people, dynamic landscapes etc. in high quality, without investing into expensive technology and having even more expenses.
At the highest speed the PanoMachine spins full circle in 2 seconds without any stop, the PanoMachine releases your camera position exactly.
The PanoMachine accelerated to speeds, rotates 360° from 2 seconds and then slows down (duration from 4 seconds).
Price (motor drive) EUR 1135,- net, FOB Germany
Best regards from Germany

I appreciate that English is not your first language - but just what is it you are trying to communicate here? I don't understand. As written this sentence makes no sense at all.

Hello Andrew:
The device accelerates to the required speed.
Then the MK PanoMachine turns 2 seconds / 360 °*
Thereafter, the device slows.
Done!
The process takes a total of 4 seconds*
(*This is the fastest possible speed)
Hopefully now understood.
Please let me know asap - thank you in advance.
Best regards
Marc

So it takes one second to accelerate and then one second to slow down, in addition to the 2 seconds to rotate and full/max. speed for 360 degrees.
Is the idea that the camera would be set to continuous shutter with a high shutter speed and shoot without the head stopping?
If so that a viable concept?
Regards,
Andrew

Yes this is absolutely working. Peter Murphy and myself have used it for fast action panoramas.
Peter uses a simple modified screwdriver which rotates around 2sec for 360.
Many of his crowd panos are made this way www.mediavr.com/blog/
I do it by hand using the free rotation of the manfrotto 300N.
You need to shoot at fast shutter 1/1200 sec or faster.
Here is one shot with the first 4 images (around 240degree) within 1.5sec.
all images within 4 sec.
www.panoramas.dk/new/fullscreen16.html
Stitched with PTGui and blended with CS4 autoblend. No extra photoshop work.
The movement here was around 50cm between the images for the closest people
Now with cameras useable at 3200 and even more it makes sense.
I tried doing it with a screwdriver already back in 2003 but Danish weather and the max ISO useable at that time + a Sigma 8 which needed stop down to 5,6 just made me stop experiment with it.

Hans,
Please explain how you avoid getting yourself in the shot.
I can't envisage how you do this fast turn technique.
Do you run around the tripod turning the camera?

Hello Hans:
As an advantage to your srewdriver, in HighSpeed Mode we can release the camera continuously as well as triggered at the right angle position.
The idea of a srewdriver is very nice - and works...
Best regards
Marc

Errrr...does that explain Hans' technique?
It appears it was shot from a pole?

This one was from my monopod pole. You can easy rotate fast to cover around 250 degrees using one smooth turn of the pole or if you can reach the panohead you just turn it with one hand.
In this case I just stepped to the other side while turning it for the last images. Thats why I am not at all in the nadir.
Here are the images used for the stitch with the creation time.
