KiWi-VL™ Panoramic Tripod Head
and KiWi-VL™ Camera Kits




(KiWi-VL pictured above with the optional accessory -
Kaidan QuickTilt Leveler -
Camera not included )

The KiWi-VL is the ideal companion product for the amazing Voigtlander Bessa-L camera. Now you can easily and affordably create high-quality, professional photographic VR panoramas with this camera. The Voigtlander Bessa-L may just well be the best camera for Photographic VR.

See a sample panorama shot with the KiWi-VL - The house to the right was shot with the Voigtlander camera and the 12 mm lens. The panorama was made with 6 photos. The negatives were scanned with a Nikon Coolscan III - see the small (198K) or the larger (970K) file.

  Bundle with Your Favorite Photographic VR Software

The light weight, compact size make it an ideal travel companion and the remarkable 15mm and 12mm rectilinear lenses offer unprecedented vertical fields-of-view. Unlike other solutions that require a “per-click” fee for every panorama you create, the KiWi-VL works with the leading panoramic applications such as those from Apple, VR Toolbox and others.

With these programs and the KiWi-VL, you can create as many panoramas as you like at no additional cost. In addition, these high-resolution stitched panoramas can be used to create stunning panoramic prints. They can also fill your computer screen or web page and support zooming in without pixelation. The KiWi-VL has a slot and an indexing scale so you position the camera’s nodal point to support the 12mm, 15mm or any Bessa-L add-on lens you desire.

The KiWi-VL comes with the tripod head, a 2-axis bubble level, a camera slider/positioner, a captive attachment knob and four detent discs (5, 6, 7, 8) for the proper indexing for the 12 and 15mm lenses.

Additional detent discs (2 thru 22) are also available. You can also purchase the KiWi-VL tripod head separately or with the Voigtlander Bessa-L camera body, 12 or 15mm lenses, Kaidan QuickTilt™ Leveler, and sturdy Pelican™ transport case. You can also include Photographic VR software, such as Apple’s QuickTime VR Authoring Studio or VR Tool box VR PanoWorx.
