What hardware configuration is needed for panoramic shooting?

Cameras: Nikon coolpix series cameras are common, such as coolpix 5400, 5700 and 8700. 5400 and 5700 belong to the same level, with more than 8700 pixels, and the picture is clearer. However, there is still a gap between ordinary digital cameras and SLR cameras in definition and color reproduction. The panorama generated by this configuration is not bad for the panorama in the form of web pages.

Fisheye lens: The fisheye lens that these three cameras can match is Nikon FC-E9, but they all need to be added with adapter rings. The 5700 and 8700 need UR-E 12, and the 5400 needs UR-E 10 adapter ring.

Pan/tilt: There are four kinds of pan/tilt that can be matched: JTS-rotator 9 Pan/tilt (3,000 yuan) from Shanghai Jietu Company and Manfutu 302 QuickTime VR (it is said that it has been discontinued, and some of it may still survive in China, about 4,000 yuan), Manfutu 303 SPH (the price should be a little more expensive than 302, which has not been sold in China) and Kaidan Fast Pan/tilt III CS (more than 0).

Tripod: Tripods can be matched at will, but because the camera, fisheye and pan/tilt are used, the weight is very heavy, so it is necessary to choose a stable corner brace, and the handle should be short, otherwise the handle will be photographed.

The configuration advantage of ordinary digital cameras is that the hardware is relatively cheap and it is very convenient to shoot and make. If the shot is good and the image is not misaligned, the later pictures don't need to be modified, and the panorama can be published directly on the Internet. Of course, clarity and color reproduction may be lacking for professional photographers. But for ordinary producers, this configuration is the most cost-effective
