The
Magellan 1000 (M-1000) is a mid-sized, manually operated rig capable of
handling objects as large as 3 feet in diameter and 100 pounds in weight.
Sized to fit on a table or desk, the M-1000 employs an adjustable cantilevered
arm design with a manually cranked gearbox to position the camera arm,
and a click-stop adjustable-height pedestal used to support the object
being photographed.
The swing arm will accommodate cameras, digital cameras and camcorders (5 pound maximum weight, 1/4" or 3/8" tripod mounting socket). The gearbox and pedestal both have an angular readout wheel that displays the rotation increment of the swing arm and turntable respectively. The base structure of the M-1000 serves as a convenient and sturdy work platform and also provides a protective shipping or transport enclosure (42" long x 24" wide x 5" high).
Included with all Magellan Object Rigs are all the necessary software utilities required to create your own QTVR object movies. The M-1000 is designed to be upgradable to the motorized capabilities of the Magellan 1500 (M-1500). The M-1500 and the M-1000 motor upgrade kit are expected to ship early in 1997. Options include a black photographic backdrop (BKDP-1) adapted for use with the Magellan 1000 series and a four-legged support stand (MGSS-1) available Dec 1996.
The Magellan 1000 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.
