The Kaidan KiWi-L™ is our most affordable VR panhead, bringing digital photographic panoramas to an even wider audience. It's the perfect complement to the latest generation of easy-to-use and affordable QuickTime® VR applications such as, PictureWorks Spin™ Panorama, VRToolBox's VRPanoWorx™ and iSeeMedia's Photovista™. Together, KiWi-L™ and applications provide a complete solution that is ideal for anyone interested in adding QuickTime® VR panoramas to their websites, e-mail and multimedia applications.

The KiWi-L™ consists of two intersecting black anodized aluminum struts that adjust and lock to accommodate the nodal points of a wide range of digital and conventional cameras, such as the Apple QuickTake 100/150/200, Kodak DC50, APS film cameras and 35mm SLR cameras equipped with 15mm lenses. The KiWi-L™ comes with the same twin-axis bubble level found on the QuickPan Magnum Series heads.When unlocked, the KiWi-L™ disassembles into two relatively flat pieces that store easily in your camera bag.

  Bundle with Your Favorite Photographic VR Software

In general, the adjustment range of the KiWi-L™ supports cameras with a tripod mounting thread-to-nodal point distance of 4 3/8 inches (111 mm) and a camera mounting surface-to-nodal point distance of 5 1/4 inches (133 mm). Two measurement scales are provided for both axes, so it's easy to set and record the dimensions for any camera and lens combination.

Mounting your camera to the KiWi-L™ is easy. Simply choose the appropriate mounting slot on the upright bracket and use the clamping knob to secure the camera. Although the clamping knob is removable and can be placed in any of the three mounting slots, it's a captive fastener so it will stay attached to the unit at all times.

KiWi-L™ attaches to any standard tripod and camera equipped with a standard 1/4-20 mounting thread. KiWi-L™ uses a specially designed friction joint that provides smooth & consistent drag while indexing the camera. A label on the base provides a clear indication of the location and increment angle of the camera. As always, the KiWi-L comes with a 30-day return policy. (Note: some restocking fees may apply.)

A Landscape Bracket (QPLB-1) for repositioning the camera can also be used with the KiWi-L and KiWi+ in order to position the camera in a landscape orientation.


The KiWi-L also comes in a bundle package with the QuickTilt Leveler. A great deal on both products! QuickTilt Leveler

KiWi-L owners can upgrade at any time to the KiWi+ by simply purchasing the KiWi+ upgrade kit (KWU-1). The kit includes the horizontal base assembly that will accept the vertical bracket from their existing KiWi units.
