360Precision Absolute : Overview

Our driving force behind the creation of the 360Precision Absolute head was a requirement for reliable batch stitching. Post-processing should not be a chore, but a far more transparent part of the panoramic creation process.

Precision

Unhappy with offerings from current panoramic head manufacturers, we decided to create our own. The form and material selection have been wholly governed by our aim of creating the first truly precision head.

Modular - Easy Upgrades

We also wanted a modular, up-gradable system that's built to last. The head also had to be light and very easy to use. Any future upgrades to the design or functionality will be fully backwards compatible.
You can therefore use your original head as a foundation for future upgrades, enabling your current head to accommodate various camera and lens combinations.

* Full upgrade kits are available and start from £95.

1. Lightweight, strong aero grade aluminium: Machined aluminium is used as the main 'chassis' material as it has a great strength to weight ratio. Brass was chosen as the detent ring material due to its ideal deformation characteristics.

2. Over Rated Sealed Bearings: Overrated bearings are used in the construction of the head, over-engineering was never frowned upon in producing this head. The high quality bearings give the Absolute the incredibly smooth rotation needed in a precision panoramic head.

3. Custom Camera Mounts: Each 360Precision Absolute head features a custom designed camera mount/locking system optimised for each camera body. The accurate re-attachment of the camera to the panoramic head is crucial in obtaining fast, accurate results. No other panoramic head on the market today features such an accurate mounting solution.

4. Tailored for your camera and lens: Each and every head is made for a specific camera-len/s setup. It is impossible* to mis-align the camera to the head, or for the camera to tilt or drift. * After initial set-up. Each Absolute model features a custom mounting solution specific to an individual camera body. This makes set-up idiot proof. With the Absolute there's no need to level the camera during set-up.

5. Exclusive hard anodised finish: Every 360Precision head is hard anodised using an exclusive finishing process. This ensures that your 360Precision head will remain in as new condition longer.

6. Large, accurate bubble level: How many times have you relied on the tripods level only to find later on the level is not always level. Each 360Precision head uses a large 30mm precision level to ensure that your horizon stays level throughout the entire panorama

This all translates into a head that pictures and words do not do justice. The 360Precision head needs to be used to be appreciated - we sincerely hope you get the chance to do both.
