PANATATE Turnover Mount

PANATATE TURNOVER MOUNTS are available to tilt the camera about the lens axis during a shot.

Like the Nodal Adaptors, the PANATATE unit is fitted to a PANAHEAD in place of the tilt unit and can be slid backwards and forwards to place the entrance pupil of the lens in the center of the pan and tilt axes.

Fine adjustment is provided to place the camera in exactly the center of rotation so there is no displacement as the camera is rolled over.

Weights which screw into the front of the PANATATE unit are provided to partially counterweight the camera about the pan, tilt and rotational axes so that it may be panned, tilted and rotated smoothly.

Stretch the battery and any other camera cables out from the rear of the camera so they do not wrap around the PANATATE unit as it is rolled, and unwind between takes.

The Camera Operator may find it easier to operate using a video viewfinder during a take.

The PANATATE unit takes a normal PANAHEAD handwheel and has exactly the same speed change system. It may also be used with the PANAMOTE remote PANAHEAD control system.
