C-PAN 6x12 Panoramic Camera

V 1.5 Update

The new version supports the use of 8-32 hardware to retain the top lid. This removes a large breaking point of the camera. The tripod mount nut is now installed from the inside of the camera and the hole can be sealed with masking tape before painting (I recommend applying a coat of a nonreflective black paint to the inside of the camera.) If you seek a more solid seal a 1/4 20 cap nut could be installed (also before painting)

If you have any questions I will do my best to answer them below.


This camera was designed to take any large format lens you could ever dream of if you make your own cone model. The cone I have made for my version, and you are more than welcome to use, supports a Super Angulon 90mm f8 lens. You will also need a 1/4 20 nut for the bottom as a tripod mount. you will also need 4 1/4 20 bolts and nuts to attach the lens cone.
