I have just ordered a high level photography system which I’ll be using mainly in working with Estate Agents and a few Developers. Have spent the last few weeks sounding out my usual customers who are all on for getting their property shots done from 25ft up.
I came across this at Focus and some of the guys attending also had a look. The supply company website is;
http://www.focalpoint2000.co.ukWill keep you posted on how it goes.
Wow, that’s one heck of a monopod :wink: Post a few images here when you get it!
Somehow I don’t see me spending 3.000 Euros on a monopod in the near future, even if it goes up by 25 feet!
Nice piece of equipment though and it might generate a good business!
I will stop by the studio one of these days have a look at the beast Gerry!

Thorston, will do that.
gerry
does it have an automated 360 degreee head???
there is one around that does
Steve, it has the automated 360 degree head with the controls operateating from beside the screen in front of the operator.
It comes also as a video Hiview but mine is the photography one.
Have not done much stitching together ever, Steve. What I’ve done recently was a Hotel in Galway and I used CS2 for that.
I have seen a “stitcher” software on sale but have , to date, resisted buying anything !gerry
photoshopt is really not great at doing the stiching
if its flat panoramas the best one i have found is PTGUI if i remeber rightly its only about 60 dollars too
but for 360 degree stuff like virtual tours etc realviz sticher is the way to go, but to make it useful like for kiosks etc (which is the part i do know about, dont have as much exp of the photogrphy side) you can by different virtual tour software packages, but i find by far the best way to do it is to use macromedia director.
I do that sort of stuff for my visitor centre clients.
I did one for Man City football club a while ago it was a tour of their old ground for a visitor centre in the new one, with a touchscreen etc. worked really well and is very robust.
Steve,
that Man City job sounds like a job to be proud of. Well done !
With this machine I would be dead interested in flat panoramas. Which stitcher would you go for in that case.
I do find that CS2 can be a bit dodgy at times but put it down to me not using it right.Get PTgui, like i say its about 60 dollars
i think you can download it for free and try it, it will just watermark you images
really nice thing it will do is generate a PSD with all the layers seperate, which means you can do nice balancing within photoshop after the the stich, or pain things out as youhave seperate layers rather than a flat document
Gerry, I hope its not too late to save you from spending your hard earned cash on that monopod on steroids. But HP have a novel solution. See this link where they advise ….
Toss your camera in the air
Utilize your timer for an experimental aerial photo.
* Set the timer and press the trigger.
* Watch closely as the timer ticks down.
* Right before it’s about to fire, toss the camera in the air.
Your camera will take a photo while airborne. Try this several times and you’ll end up with a photo unlike all the rest.

So we have affordable aerial photography!! I wonder if this affects the warranty :lol: :lol:
