Why a ring-mount head?
A ring-mount head holds the fisheye lens itself in a precision lens ring clamp, not the camera body. The No-Parallax-Point of the lens sits on the rotation axis once and stays there: change the camera, add a grip or swap the body, and nothing has to be readjusted.
With a circular or full-frame fisheye between 4.5 and 17 mm, a complete 360 x 180 degree sphere needs only one row of 3 to 6 shots. That makes the R and RS heads the fastest and lightest way to shoot real estate, virtual tours and Google Street View content.
Features
- Fits the lens, not the camera: one setting for every body
- Arca-Swiss compatible lens ring clamp (lens rings sold separately)
- Repeatable single-row spheres with 3 to 6 shots
- CNC-machined aluminium, small enough for a jacket pocket
- Works on tripods, monopods and Fanotec carbon poles
Ideal for
Real estate & virtual toursFast, repeatable spheres on site, room after room.
Google Street ViewRecommended head size and workflow for trusted photographers.
Pole photographyLight enough for elevated viewpoints on a carbon pole.
