The
QuickPan Professional is Kaidan's top-of-the-line QTVR panoramic tripod
head. It consists of the QP-1B base unit and the QPU-1 Universal Camera
Bracket. The QP-4 is designed for the professional and provides a sturdy
platform for any camera and Kaidan's QuickPan Accessories, such as the
Extension Tube (QPE-1) and the Stereo Camera Bracket (QPST-1). The QP-4
will accept most standard 35mm SLR and rangefinder camera as well as digital
cameras and camcorders.
The QP-1B base has a built tilt-adjusting capability that uses two convenient thumbwheels to adjust the unit for proper leveling. A precision bubble level, mounted on the stationary base, provides a clear indication when the unit is level. The QP-1B indexing disc provides five standard angular increment settings (8, 10, 14, 16, 36). A free-rotation locking knob can also be used to provide free-rotation and locking at any angular interval. The base has two tripod mounting threads: 1/4-20 & 3/8-24 (European).
The QPU-1 Universal Bracket comes with easy to use adjusting clamp levers and calibrated scales along the two adjustment axes. The scales make it easy to record various settings for different camera and lens combinations. Also included, is a two-axis hot-shoe bubble level that attaches to your camera to ensure that it's level in elevation.
Like all Kaidan products, the QP-4 comes with a one-year warranty for defects in materials and workmanship as well as a 30-day money-back guarantee if you're not completely satisfied.
