Hi Dan,

The Atome is limited on features to keep both the weight and cost
down and make it as simple to use as possible. We always take
suggestions on board and if we receive enough demand for a certain
feature then we will look into it.

1. There's no locking mechanism but you can always tighten the ball
plunger to stop the head from spinning.

2. Not really, there's only the main barrel and bearings in common.
We seriously thought about making the Y section universal but this
would add to the weight, size and cost of the head. When we looked at
the number of current customers using multiple fisheye lenses compared
to just one it didn’t make sense. Keeping the Atome specific to one
set-up benefits both the largest number of customers and the product
itself.

That looks great.  I hope you have different size
clamps for different diameter lens *AND EXTENSION TUBES*

Something like that is what I need for my compact Fuji e900
with an extension tube.

Hi Matthew,

1. Is the rotational feature of the rotator-base optionally "lockable" to
prevent lens/camera combo from flopping around? If it is lockable, is it also
possible to have the lens/camera to spin free ("clutchless") for accurate
placement before lock-down?

2. Can the same base rotator be use with a Nikon 10.5mm AND Sigma 8mm with the
appropriate lens clasp, assuming the click-stops are adjustable? Or is each
base specific for each lens (:-() ?

Thanks.

Dan

One can place the Atom on a vertical, indexed bracket and it will work
as a multi-row attachment. I even thought that that´s what the Adjuste
rig was - unfortunatey I was wrong :-( .

Hi Simon,

It's really only design for single row fisheye panoramas. We will
however have the various upright supports tilted to allow a full
sphericals to be taken. For example, with the 8mm or 10mm versions
titled at 10-15º you can shoot full sphericals with only 4 and 6 shots
respectively.

We could probably adapt the Atome to shoot multi-rows but it's not
planned at this stage and to be honest, probably won't happen anytime
soon if at all.

Does the Atome (and P5100) shoot up/down rows, or just a single horizontal row?
From looking at the product pics on the website, it doesn't seem to rotate
up/down as well as around, so no good for spherical panos, only cylindrical
panos, is that right?.

If up/down rows for spherical panos, I'd like one for my Canon 10-22mm lens.

Thanks,

Hi AYRTON,

Definitely, I use my 10-17 more and more and would love a 10-17 Atome
for myself. As for other lenses like the f4 the timeframe for delivery
will depend purely on demand.

Congratulations Matthew

Any plans for a Tokina 10-17 mmm
I've replaced mine Nikkor 10,5mm for it since it gives me more "lens" :-)
And on the Sigma 8mm can I use with the Æ’: 4 ?

Thanks

360Precision product announcement.

Pre-Order Price: £159 ex VAT (final price est. £199 ex VAT).
Shipping: End of May 2008
Available for: Nikkor 10.5, Sigma 4.5, Sigma 8mm, Sigma 10mm and
others to follow shortly.

For the past 15 months we've been working on an evolutionary design
for a new panoramic tripod head. Finally after numerous prototypes,
testing and changes we're proud to announce the availability of the
new 360Precision Atome.

The 360Precision Atome continues our tradition of unique products
designed for panoramic photographers by panoramic photographers.

The 360Precision Atome features a unique quick release lens clasp
system. The quick release clasp allows for fast one-handed operation.
As the clasp stays permanently attached to the lens you only need to
level the lens/camera in the Atome on initial set-up. Each time you
place the lens/clasp back into the holder you can be guaranteed that
the camera/lens will be level and ready to shoot.

We're in the process of verifying the accuracy of the 360Precision
Atome for use in a batchable work-flow. Initial tests are extremely
positive and we'll post an update when out tests have been finalised.

We're launching the 360Precision Atome at a pre-order price of £159 ex
VAT + shipping. We're expecting initial stock to sell out in days so
get your order in quickly. The Atome will be shipping initially for
the Nikkor 10.5 with the various Sigma versions shipping shortly
afterwards.

Features of the 360Precision Atome include:

• Quick release lens clasp.
• Clasp stays permanently attached to the lens.
• Lightweight at only 420gms (standard stainless base).
• Zero footprint base rotator (applicable lenses only).
• Perfect for use as a second head for
hiking, travel or back-packing.
• Initially available for Nikkor 10.5mm, coming soon for
Sigma 4.5mm and Sigma 8mm f3.5
• 3,4 or 6 click stops (lens dependent).
• Central 3/8" mount, perfect for use in pole
panoramic photography.
• Stainless steel or lightweight aluminum base option.

The 360Precision Atome is the perfect panoramic head where weight,
accuracy and ease of use is a priority. The quick release system
allows you to go from panoramic photography to standard photography
and back in seconds. Each clasp and holder is designed to minimise the
nadir footprint and allows for full 360º spherical panos without the
need to shoot a zenith shot (lens dependant). If you do need to shoot
a zenith you can remove the camera and lens one handed in 2-3 seconds,
shoot the zenith handheld and lock the clasp back into the base.

We'll also be offering special bundles for customers wanting to
purchase an Atome with an Absolute or Adjuste. We'll be adding cheaper
shipping options to the website shortly but if anyone needs cheaper
shipping now just reply to the order confirmation for options and we
can adjust the ship option and cost before processing the order.

You can check out the more details and photos on the 360Precision
website: www.360precision.com

If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask.
