Removing the Friction Cap The Friction Cap needs to be removed to either install or change the stainless steel detent discs. These discs provide the means for estab- lishing and changing the number and spacing of the angular incre- ments of the tripod head.
Removing & Replacing the Detent Disc Once the Indexing Hub is removed, the detent disc can be removed from its recess in the bottom of the V ertical Bracket.
Adjusting the Detent Force If adjusting the Friction Cap does not provide enough tension, there is a spring plunger in the indexing hub that can also be adjusted to vary the force. Use a flat blade screw driver to move the plunger in and out as desired.
Shoot ing P anor am as Mounting the Camera? Mounting your camera to your KiWi is easy . Kaidan has provided mounting holes to make it simple. Just choose the appropriate mount- ing hole for the lens you wish to use. Most KiW i heads have two mount- ing locations for the standard and wide-angle lenses.
Mounting the Camera? (continued) The KiWi™ is designed to be used with either the standard wide- angle camera setting or with a specific wide-angle or fisheye lens.
Shooting the Panorama The KiW i™ has a female 1/4-20 thread on the bottom of the Indexing Hub for mounting to most standard tripods. Be sure that the KiW i is securely attached to the tripod. Use a tripod that is sturdy , ideally one that has a center support system of braces to help keep the cam- era and KiWi from excessive flexing.
Shooting the Panorama (continued) Once the tripod is positioned and the KiW i is leveled, index the KiW i so as to point it at some identifiable feature. Instead of count- ing shots, it’ s much easier to stop shooting when you notice that particular feature reappearing.
Finding the Nodal P oint w ith 3r d P ar t y L enses How do I Locate my Camera’ s Nodal Point? Follow these steps and you will be able to easily locate the nodal point for any camera and lens combination. Simply put, the nodal point is the point inside your camera where the light rays converge and flip over .
The Fore-Aft Adjustment Put the Captive Camera Knob in the long slot of the V ertical Bracket. This will allow you to slide the camera (along with the Camera Ad- justment Shoe) as required. Note: This step is most easily accomplished outside. Find a vertical edge or line, such as a doorway or edge of a building.
