This new rotator is simpler; providing an unparalleled positive silky-smooth click-stop action with a new series of inexpensive, interchangeable and compact detent discs.
Benefits:
Discs can be swapped in less than 10 seconds without having to remove the head from your tripod. Just loosen the thumbscrew, remove the arm assembly and swap the disc. It's that simple.
We've made the QuickPan and the detent discs significantly lighter without sacrificing strength or durability. Less weight in your camera bag means you can carry more gear or travel farther without getting as tired.
QuickPan rotators are backwards compatible with all QuickPan camera brackets (and most KiWi camera brackets too). If you already own a QuickPan or KiWi, in most cases you can purchase the QuickPan rotator and use your existing camera bracket
Every QuickPan rotator comes standard with nine detent discs (0, 2, 3, 6, 9, 10, 12, 14, 18) which should cover most possible panoramic shooting situations with either fisheye or rectilinear lenses. All the discs come in a convenient carrying pouch that has a handy "Number of Shots" table. It's also a great place to store memory cards or other odds and ends.
Detent discs are available in any number of indexing positions from 0 (blank - for free rotation) through 22 positions (22 through 36 are available upon special order) at 3.99 each.
The discs are made from a high-strength bearing polymer that provides a very long life working in conjunction with the included stainless steel ball plunger.
All QuickPan rotators include a 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 tripod mounting thread and have a convenient storage location for the threaded adapter bushing. Like the prior QuickPan III design, the QuickPan rotator includes a centrally mounted bubble level and a rotation locking/friction drag feature.
NB YOU MUST PURCHASE A CAMERA BRACKET TO GO WITH THE ROTATOR BASE.
