  • Digital camera (abbreviation as DC)
    In theory, both digital camera and film camera work with fisheye lens to shoot fisheye images. However, digital cameras are much convenient since the images can be uploaded to computer directly without scanning the negatives as film camera. So digital camera is strongly recommended such as Nikon Coolpix 8800, 8700, 5700, 5400, 5000, 4500, 4300, 995, 990, 900, 885, 880, 800, 700.
    Nikon Coolpix 8700:

    Visit the nikon digital camera specifications at dpreview.com or www.steves-digicams.com for more information .
  • Fisheye lens
    Fisheye lens can capture a circular image with FOV (field of view) of 180 degrees and more. A panorama can be stitched from 2 or 3 fisheye images. The Nikon FC-E8 and FC-E9 Fisheye Converter Lens is recommended.
    Nikon FC-E8: Visit here for more information.
    Nikon FC-E9:


    FC-E9 can be attached to Nikon Coolpix 8800, 8700, 5700 and 5400, which fills a gap of FC-E8. It provides approx. 183 degree(for 5700/8700)/190 degree(for 5400) view angle. See detail specification.
  • Pano Head
    Also known as Panoramic Tripod Head or Rotator, is installed on a tripod when shooting to eliminate the displacements between hemispheres so that the hemispheres can be stitched seamlessly. Different pano head matches different DC. QuickPan CS III series from Kaidan, formerly called Kiwi series, are recommended. For more info, please refer to http://www.kaidan.com website.

    Note:
    Nodal Ninja is another recommended pano head, compatible and affordable.
    Refer to http://www.360texas.com/tips/nodalpts.htm on how to set nodal point.
  • Tripod
    A tripod is an adjustable three-legged stand used for supporting photography equipments when shooting. Because fisheye lens covers a wide range of shooting area, it calls for stable tripod with a not-too-long handle; otherwise, the long handle will cover a wide area in the stitched panorama and is difficult to be erased. The tripod from Manfrotto and Bogen are recommended.
