Thank you so much, I've been shooting panos for many years and thought that I'd share some insight into how to do it properly. Have you watched my latest video on panos. th-cam.com/video/2IZ3QMK2IeU/w-d-xo.html
I found the easiest (and fastest) way to establish the camera location behind the tripod pivot point is to align the camera with the two markers (your light stands and bats) in the centre of the live view image, then swing the camera until the markers are to one side of the live view image where they will probably be misalinged and then simply move the camera rearward on the rail with respect to the tripod pivot point until the markers align again. Lock down and then double check the markers remain aligned with the camera swung in the opposite direction and that should be job done.
You're very welcome Kamel and thank you for commenting. I've just done another video on shooting a panorama in the city. th-cam.com/video/2IZ3QMK2IeU/w-d-xo.html
Hi, Thanks for the video. Can you please tell me what pano head you are using and the bracket you mention? I clicked on a link from another person question but I can seem to view that tiny link. Cheers
Let me check: 720 Degree Panoramic Head www.amazon.com.au/REFENG-Panoramic-Compatible-Camcorder-Capacity/dp/B0CCJF33V6 or www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p4432023.m570.l1313&_nkw=720+Degree+Panoramic+Head&_sacat=0

Excellent series on panoramic images. Just one question : You use aperture priority. So there is a risk that the images have different shutter-times. Would it not be better to use manual mode ?
Yes, for the first example I did use Aperture Priority, but I did state that the reason I used AP was that the light was stable. but do go on to state further in the video that at other times of the day I will always shoot in Manual mode.
Charles, it would be helpful if you put the links to the other parts here. Also, did you talk about how to set up the panorama rotator? Could you also give us the links to the gear you use in this tutorial - the nodal rail, the rotator, the pano tripod head?
I try very hard to to let my shaking hands control my life. I use to struggle with self doubt when I first noticed how bad my hands shake, now it just doesn't bother me. Life goes on and I try to do the best that I can
Towards the end of the video, you mentioned titling the camera and not the tripod head. At 28:35 did you tilt the nodal slide? I am about to buy a nodal slide, but it doesn’t look like you can tilt the slide.
Charles, how do you tilt the camera on the ballhead without tilting the ballhead itself? I have an L-bracket (not universal) attached to my camera which keeps the camera securely on the ballhead and does not allow any movement. The only way I can see to tilt the camera upwards or downwards is by tilting the ballhead. Any tips?
The concept of how to take a proper panorama picture was well explained in detail. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! And thanks for the feedback 😄
Great video. I watched some videos on panoramas but your series is the most didactic one and all the concepts are well explained. Thanks for sharing!

Whata Brilliant series of Tuition on a Subject I am battling with
Glad to help out
Very educational and inspiring! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is good stuff Charles, glad I found your channel.
Thank you so much, and I'm thankful that you've found my videos helpful
So true! Great channel!
I really have enjoyed the explaination on the tilt while doing 2 rows
Thank you so much, glad I was able to help you out. 🙏
Thank You Charles this is simply amazing
You're welcome, glad I could be of some help to you

I have done an updated tutorial which shows exactly what you are saying. th-cam.com/video/FDa4BPpkZIU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=I3lWZ5799ZLuTWkW

Great video. What nodal brand of pan head are you using?
It is very similar to this one

Subbed, great stuff
Thanks for the sub!, thanks for following me.
Great video, thanks. I do have a question though. Do you really need the ball head between the rotator and the tripod, if the tripod is level?
No! You don't. That's just how made this video
Excellent series on panoramic images.

I've just added the links to the other 2 videos in the description of this video
Thank you for your videos! I just wonder, how can you enjoy photography with shaking hands?
Sometimes my hands shake too, and I lose all my interest.
I try very hard to to let my shaking hands control my life. I use to struggle with self doubt when I first noticed how bad my hands shake, now it just doesn't bother me. Life goes on and I try to do the best that I can
Towards the end of the video, you mentioned titling the camera and not the tripod head. At 28:35 did you tilt the nodal slide? I am about to buy a nodal slide, but it doesn’t look like you can tilt the slide.
No, I only tilt the camera, not the nodal slider. You will have problems if you tilt anything more than the camera
Charles, how do you tilt the camera on the ballhead without tilting the ballhead itself? I have an L-bracket (not universal) attached to my camera which keeps the camera securely on the ballhead and does not allow any movement. The only way I can see to tilt the camera upwards or downwards is by tilting the ballhead. Any tips?
This is why I bought a universal L Backet which allows me to tilt the camera without tilting the ball head. these are only about $10 on eBay.
@@CharlesNPhotography Thanks, Charles, great idea, I'll give it a try.
You're welcome, hope it helps you out.
Hi Charles,
How far between the two poles?
Or it doesn’t matter?
Thanks
you need them to be as close as possible to each other
@@CharlesNPhotography Thanks, I saw the two poles in your demonstration is quite far to each other , that s why I asked. Thanks again.
I looked for the 3 part and did not see it. What is the title of the 3 part called ?

How does parallax error affect Micro 4/3s cameras? Are the nodal points from the sensor closer or further along?
I'm sorry, but I don't have any experience or knowledge on using Micro 4/3s cameras
YES!!!
Thank you🙏
