The GigaPan Epic is a robotic mount that helps photographers create detailed panoramas. David Bergman used his Canon G10 and the GigaPan Imager to take a panoramic photo of Obama’s inaugural address. The GigaPan Epic and Stitcher software is available for $379. And the GigaPan Epic 100 will be available for $49. The Epic is very easy to use. First you connect a digital camera to the Epic. After that a small roboto mount automates the picture taking process. And then hundreds of thousands of images are connect together using the Stitcher software.
