Welcome!

This Gallery is dedicated to image making using the KingPANO panohead. I have spent 3+ years in development with various designs and at least 40 variations. What you see is the final design. Please look around the site and view my images and a few from my customers of what can be accomplished with a digital camera, tripod, and the KingPANO. Here some answers to Frequently Asked Questions about my panohead...

The KingPANO has click stops every 7.5 degrees with engraved markings. You have many combinations on the numbers of shots you want to make. Here are the numbers.

2 shots @ 180 degrees ----- 3 shots @ 120 degrees
4 shots @ 90 degrees ------ 6 shots @ 60 degrees
8 shots @ 45 degrees ----- 12 shots @ 30 degrees
24 shots @ 15 degrees ---- 48 shots @ 7.5 degrees

As you can see, the KingPANO can be used in many different combinations. You don't have change out any detent rings. Just rotate/click to the numbers and shoot.

The KingPANO is made from Acrylic (cool looking, shiny, and black) It has been made from all kinds of materials from ABS, PVC, Urethane, Delrin, and Aluminum. The price / looks / performance always led me back to acrylic.
