The panoramic photography head includes: an approximately horizontal upper plate having a second connector for realizing non-rotatably connection to the first connector; a vignetting preventing extension that is bent downward from the upper plate to secure a predetermined gap so as to prevent the panoramic photography head and the legged platform from being photographed in an image; and a lower plate that extends approximately horizontally and toward a front side from a lower end of the vignetting preventing extension and has a legged platform connector for connection to the legged platform. The legged platform connector is positioned vertically under a nodal point of the lens. | 2017-10-26 |
