Panoramic head Panobaby-Y

With the panoramic head Panobaby-Y and your Xiaomi Yi or Xiaomi Yi 2K you capture detailed and precise cylindric panoramas (VR images) quickly and with ease. It takes only five shots to create an image with 60 megapixels.

The image extends over a range of 360 x 120 degrees. That is, the captured area is covering everything around you almost from the very top to the very bottom.

The head rotates the lens exactly around its parallax free point – also known as nodal point. Accordingly the created image has zero parallax error which makes stitching fast and easy and provides results of high quality.
