Here's a picture of my unit: http://ron.outcrop.org/images/Gigapan_unit.jpg I suppose it depends on what sort of portability you're looking for. I'm not sure I'd want to take it on a long backpacking trip, but anywhere you'd feel comfortable carrying a sturdy tripod I think the robot would be happy to follow. I’d say it is.

I assume Google will eventually have the whole world recorded in this format....then they will try keep it up to date in real time. :D I just spent a good 20 minutes looking at some of the examples at the Gigapan site.

Wed, 30 Jan 2008 03:25:02 +0000 http://onemansblog.com/2008/01/29/im-in-the-gigapan-beta/#comment-34956 Thanks Ron. I saw the panoramas you have on your site. Very cool, and by the way I found the gnomes. They kind of remind me of Cartman from Southpark. Sort of chubby and round faces with the red hats... I'm really excited to be getting a Gigapan! I love photography, and I've been taking panos with my D-SLR and a <a href="http://www.nodalninja.com/" rel="nofollow">Nodal Ninja</a>, but it's really hard and manually labor intensive. I can't wait to let the robot do all the work and have perfectly stitched photos. I also tend to travel a lot and have seen a lot of cool stuff, from Paris to Hawaii... just wish I had it back then, but maybe it's just a good excuse to go back. ;-) Take care, John Thanks Ron.

Although I must admit that I did notice a little bit of an artifact when I zoomed in all of the way. Nevertheless, it does indeed feel like a movie or tv show where I can zoom in as much as I want and still see a clear image. Very cool! I bet it will be really pricey when it is released for sale, though! Wow that’s pretty awesome. Although I must admit that I did notice a little bit of an artifact when I zoomed in all of the way.
