I took the GigaPan Epic Pro out to Independence Hall in Philadelphia. For those who do not know the significance of Independence Hall, it is where the declaration of Independence was signed.
I thought this would be a great opportunity to test out my first real GigaPan. In this 5 min portrait you get to watch the majority of the process that goes into making a large scale panoramic image using a GigaPan Epic Pro.
This GigaPan tops out at just under a GigaPixel at 930 or so Megapixels.
There was one interesting occurrence that ended up happening when a federal park ranger came up to ask what I was shooting. For the record they did not say I could not do what I was doing. They said nothing about not being aloud to use a tripod or anything negative. They were simply only asking because you do need a permit if what you are photographing is for “Comercial” use. I had a very good discussion about the rules with these guys and they gave me the number to the person to speak with if I had further questions.
I did end up speaking to the person in charge after I finished editing this video. I am in the process of trying to get him to join me back at the park on camera to talk about the rules for photographers and shooting in a federal park.
Below you will find the GigaPan to explore. Like I said during the video there are some minor issues that I saw but all and all I am very happy with the results.

I want that with my a7rii, insane lol
awsome Vid!
More car shooting vídeos FRO
It's been 2 years, can it do full spheres yet?
Isn't there a multi triggering option that let's you take several pictures while the gigapan epic pro is pointing in one direction? That way you directly have several pictures to choose from to prevent people standing in the way or half cars like described.
One way to get rid of the "half-cars" would be to use a long exposure +ND Filter, right? I don't have any experience with the GigaPen itself but shooting some regular panoramas, this trick helped my out at times ;D
Cool video btw! Very interesting to see such a device
Very nice presentation – thank You !!!
In order to have no problems with permits to shoot pictures I advice You to cut Your hair and beard. Sorry Jared but You look a bit like those "allah akbar" guys from Afghanistan. You know what I mean ? Only joking man……..:))))
Thanks again for this tutorial.
Happy New Year 2015 from me !!

You give me racial turrets so bad, you gibber jabber to dam much..
That's BS, need a permit, please! You are protected under the constitution to photograph in any public location. Even the police can be photographed and if they ask to confiscate your pics or even view them you are protected under unlawful search and seizure
Does this have a setting for 600mm in it? Because I wanna do a super high detail mountain top panorama of the city view with a tamron 150-600

Nice video about gopro; I mean gigapan. One word of advise. Fire your hairdresser because GigaPan cannot do a proper shoot of all your hair.
+Mike M. Check out this GigaPan Epic Pro. AMAZING. Isn't this cool?
