303 QTVR Panoramic Head Kit (BO303)
Designed for QuickTime virtual reality technology which allows
virtual scenes to be created by computer from panoramic digital
or digitized images obtained from single shots stitched together.
Suitable for most SLR and digital still cameras using wide-angle
lenses. The kit includes a leveling base enabling fine, fingertip
adjustment of ±5° to ensure the camera is perfectly level, the 303
Panoramic Head, and an elbow bracket to ensure the optical
center of the lens is above the point of rotation to avoid parallax
errors and ensure perfect QTVR sequence. The kit features double
sliding plate with 3.1˝ of adjustment for precise positioning, spirit
level and graduated scale to set the angle of rotation from 10˚ to
90˚ or the number of shots spanning 360˚..............................324.95
303 Plus (BO303P)
Similar to the 303 but it incorporates precise geared movement of
the 2 sliding plates used to position the camera on the panoramic
axis of rotation. A release button disengages the gear to facilitate
rapid movement of the plates when required.........................379.95

300N Panoramic Head
This head lets you set 10 different angles of
rotation: (5, 10, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 45, 60,
90°) or the number
of shots (37, 36, 24,
20, 18, 15, 12, 10, 8,
6, 4 shots) span-
ning 360° rotation
using the engraved,
graduated scale
markings for refer-
ence. The head can be used for precise
sequential and constant angle shots or simply
for panning and reading the angle of motion.
The camera can mount directly to the head
with the optional 3054 1/4˝ adapter or on any
Ball or 3D head which mounts on the
Panoramic Head.

The 303SPH is a multi-row (spherical) panoramic photography head. It has sliding plates to
position the camera over the panoramic axis of rotation, plus a sliding plate which rotates
around the front/back tilt axis. This allows the camera to be rotated on both horizontal and
vertical axis around the camera/lens nodal point, so multi-row panoramic photo sequences
(cubic VR photos) can be taken accurately and easily.
Using the 303SPH ensures that software used for photo stitching produces a precisely com-
posed VR environment with minimum post-production intervention or software correction.
The 303SPH’s vertical bracket can be unlocked and rotated through 90° (then re-locked) so
that the head takes up less space in transport, and so that the sliding plate mechanisms are
protected against knocks and bumps. The 303SPH comes complete with an extra set of slid-
ing plates for use with cameras of different sizes.
◆ Three sliding plates for precise nodal
point positioning on all planes/axes.
◆ Short plates included for more
convenient use with compact cameras.
◆ Long plates included for use with larger
SLR or medium format cameras.
◆ Camera attachment via 1/4 - 20˝ and
3/8˝ male screw.
◆ 3/8˝ female tripod fitting.
◆ Dual graduated scale to set the angle of
rotation to any of the following:
90°, 60°, 45°, 36°, 30°, 24°, 20°, 15°, 10°, 5°
(respectively equivalent to 4, 6, 8, 10, 12,
15, 18, 24, 36, 72 photos to achieve a full
360° rotation) - on upper part of 300N
rotation unit.
◆ Graduated scale from 0° to 360° on lower
part of 300N rotation unit.
◆ By removing vertical brackets, the
303SPH can also be used as an object
turntable.
◆ Vertical bracket folds down and removes
for compact size during transport.
