QuickPan III Panoramic Tripod Head Overview
Thank you purchasing a Kaidan
QuickPan III Panoramic Tripod Head.
This manual is designed to help you
understand how to use your QuickPan
III to create quality panoramas. This

QuickPan III Overview
The QuickPan III family is built around
a sturdy and precise Rotator Base with
interchangable indexing rings. There
are several camera brackets that slide
and lock onto the Rotator Base.
Why do I need a tripod head?
A panoramic tripod head makes it
possible to easily capture a sequence
of photos that are stitched to form a
complete panoramic image. It holds
the camera in the portrait orienta-
tion, positions the camera so that it
rotates around the optical center or
nodal point of the lens and provides
a repeatable and adjustable click-
stop indexing mechanism.
