I haven't gottena all of the particulars worked out yet, but I am
working on designing a camera stand and trying to decide on the best
material to make most of it out of.

I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel, but a special project makes it
necessary to be able to take a series of as many as 180 equally
spaced
photos across a 45° swing and be be able to do the same again
without
any perceptable deviation.


A Haas indexer would do the job nicely.
And you can program it to whatever positions you need.

I didn't see the OP mention if this panoramic camera has to survive
outdoor weather that will ruin an expensive indexer.

The only thing that would harm a Haas..is getting the control wet. So
that would need some cover. The indexer itself is pretty much
water/oil proof as we see in machine shops every day.

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
