Hi Lars,  Welcome to the forum

Camera Roll.  Ok... I can understand that issue.  In your email you say that you have an Agnos MrotatorB and a Nikon Coolpix 5700 and a FC-E9.  I appologize for not immediately replying to your email.

You correct the camera roll by making sure that your panorama head is LEVEL on each shot at the time the images are taken.  Some people have an additional device called a quick leveller.  It is a device with 3 thumb wheels that can level the pan head deck during rotation.

Other wise you will need to level each tripod leg.

Do you have a 3 thumbwheel device between the tripod head and the tripod base ?  Try levelling up the tripod to near level.  Then level up the pan head for shot #1.  Take your first image.. then click stop to image #2 and level up.. continue throught to the end click stop

Hi,

I'm not totally sure but I think that using the "matching point editor" and by matching a least 3 points on each shot, the software will do a bunch of calculation and adjust the picture so they can stich properly... Am I right?

I think that's why you don't find how to adjust the roll... I think you can't!  If adjustment is needed it's done by using the matching points

Cheers

Really you shouldn't being having this issue if you have set your camera and panohead up correctly. Camera roll can only be as a result of poor set up or levelling.

The FC-E9 can be set to perfect level within the MrotatorB before locking into permanent position with the hex (Allan) screw (the camera should be attached to the lens) to achieve correct level. You might need to use either A) A hot shoe bubble level or B) A very small spirit level from the hardware store.

Panoweaver 4.0 will make up for "slight" horizon level (roll) issues.

On top of all this you must be 100% sure and accurate in tripod levelling before shooting your sequence of shots for the panorama.

Over the many years of the MrotatorB release and using with Panoweaver know one has ever really asked any questions about correcting camera roll.

Lars,

I assume you leave the lens permanently attached to the MrotatorB?

When you screw the camera on it should always align to the correct position if it was set up correctly the first time. The only places you should be concerned about level is the bubble level on top of the MrotatorB in position (1) only for shooting the panorama images. But before shooting images you must make 100% sure the lens is set back as far as possible (flush) with the MrotatorB and that the camera is dead level horizontally before lock down the hex (Allan) screw/bolt. A hot shoe level is perfect for this. Now, if you are doing this on a tripod then you MUST have the tripod dead level and the readings for this should be taken at the top of the tripod not the top of the MrotatorB.

So summery:

• Tripod level
• Attach MrotatorB
• Insert FC-E9 tighten very lightly
• Attach Camera
• Make sure FC-E9 is flush to the MrotatorB
• Level the camera Horizontally (Roll)
• Fix camera to support bracket
• Check everything again
• Tighten Hex (Allan) screw/bolt

Then after this you can use only the MrotatorB bubble level as the correct levelling device for shooting your panorama photo sequence. Remember position (1) the 0-360 mark is the only time the bubble level must be perfectly centred. Shoot (P1) Perfect Level, Rotate Shoot (P2) Bubble Level could be Out (Doesn't Matter), Rotate Shoot (P3) Bubble Level could be Out (Doesn't Matter), Back to (P1) Perfect Level.

Hope this helps, Smooth
