GigaPan has debuted the EPIC Pro, a robotic camera mount specifically designed for DSLRs to capture multi-gigapixel panorama shots. The new mount can hold up to 10 pounds. With the PRO mount, users can take the thousands of images needed to stitch together one highly detailed image. Once stitched, the image is uploaded to gigapan.com, where users can zoom and share their panoramic images. GigaPan has also redesigned its EPIC and EPIC 100 models to allow point-and-shoot cameras to also take extreme-panoramic images. Both models have a 360-degree panoramic range of motion, illuminated display and enhanced battery pack for simple installation.
The EPIC Pro retails for $895 and is designed to work with most DSLRs; the EPIC 100 is $449 and has an enhanced interface for large point-and-shoots and small DSLRs. The EPIC is $349 and has an enhanced interface for compact digitals. The new GigaPan Stitch software is also included with every EPIC purchase.
