Rodeon VR Head by Dr. Clauss GmbH
RODEON VR Head, the main product of german Dr. Clauss GmbH is the world's top-level product for production of spherical 360°-panoramas.
With its automatic pan-and-tilt, the production of cylindrical and spherical 180°x360° panoramas in a high-resolution multirow-procedure transforms into a productive routine followed by top-quality results.
Practically every digital camera (e.g. Mamya, Canon EOS series, Nikon D series, Kodak, Konica Minolta, Sigma etc.) becomes a panorama machine in connection with the RODEON VR Head.
Use all advantages of your modern digital camera, your high-quality lenses and your well-proved color-management-system for wide-angle and panoramic photos instead of a strictly specialized, unflexible and expansive panoramic camera.
The RODEON VR Head scans the selected panoramic motive fast and precise by moving the camera in its Nodal-point to the vertical and horizontal direction.
The vicinity is scanned fully automated by precicely triggering the camera. No longer adjustment of single steps. No artifacts resulting from line-scanning.
The movement is free configurable and remote controlled via a user-software, which is running on a handy PDA or a Notebook-PC. The RODEON VR Head is connected to the user-software over the modern Bluetooth-standard.
For special applications the corresponding scripts are free programmable. Every individual settings can be saved and loaded as profiles whenever needed.
Our AutoStitcher-software recognizes the managed movement and automates the working process by using REALVIZ stitcher or REALVIZ ST-Batch. Regardless of this you can work with every other stitching software.
RODEON VR Head is based on the common construction system RODEON modular. Due to its consistent mechanical and electronic modular design your investment is protected. All modules can be easily assembled and varied. Further applications can be realised with add-on kits without high expenditure (e.g. turntable for taking photos from objects).
RODEON VR Head is always up-to-date, even if you want to buy a new camera. No matter how modern and high-resolution it is: RODEON VR Head continously grows with you.
RODEON VR Head needs no long preparation: Mount it on your tripod, fasten the camera with the quick release adapter and just start!
Dr. Clauss' Rodeon is your solution!
