Clauss RODEON piXplorer

Clauss RODEON piXplorer

I'm using the Clauss RODEON piXplorer since 2017 primary to create gigapixel panoramas. Usually I shoot with a 85mm, 105, 180mm and 300mm lens. Here are the Clauss RODEON piXplorer keyfeatures:

  • Small, lightweight, low-cost but high quality standards.
  • Integrated control panel and 11.1V rechargeable battery pack (7 hrs operating time), Dust and humidity protection (IP 54 standards).
  • New quick-release system with a unique super-flat quick-release adapter.
The super-flat quick-change adapter is a nice holding system, but also means that a standard Arca suiss clamp cannot be used. Here a Link to the device: https://dr-clauss.de or https://pixplorer.net/pixplorer-en.html

Unfortunately, there is no possibility to transfer the parameters of a panoramic image to a computer via e.g. IR or Bluetooth. Therefore, I either save the settings of a shooting as a preset. There are a total of 10 presets available or I simply take a photo with my mobile phone to assign the parameters to the individual panorama.

Later, I use Papywizard to create a corresponding xml file and then use AutoPano Giga to combine the pictures into a panorama.
