GigaPan EPIC Giveaway

Comments 233 by Rebecca Bollwitt

The GigaPixel Project in Vancouver has been precisely documenting scenes of the city of the last few months and the results are stunning. GigaPixel images are digital bitmaps composed of one billion pixels (1,000 megapixels), more than 150 times the information captured by a 6 megapixel digital camera. The latest GigaPixel image was revealed yesterday and to get the whole effect, you’ll need to click on the photo below to expand (and zoom in to see the snowboarder on Cypress).

These amazing photos are made possible with specialized ‘GigaPan’ instruments that were developed by Carnegie Mellon University in collaboration with NASA Ames Intelligent Robotics Group, with support from Google. Locally-based Active Computer Services is the exclusive distributor of the GigaPan device in Canada. They have offered up one of their GigaPan devices for a giveaway so that one of my readers can try their hand at making their own panoramas.

GigaPan EPIC
The prize is the GigaPan EPIC. It is a unique robotic camera mount that empowers most small digital cameras with the ability to capture gigapixel images.

To use, simply set the corners of the panorama you want to capture using the LCD interface. The built in software works out how many photos your camera will need to take, hundreds or even thousands. Then the EPIC begins snapping the photos, automatically organizing them in overlapping rows and columns.

The EPIC is compact enough to fit into a small camera bag and weighs only 3.5 lbs. A tripod mount is included along with a level bubble – a full list of special features is available online. The value of this prize is $349.

If you would like this GigaPan EPIC for yourself or a camera/photo buff friend, here’s how you can enter to win:

  • Leave a comment on this post (1 entry)
  • Post the following on Twitter (1 entry)
RT to enter to win a GigaPan EPIC panorama photo instrument from @activecomp & @Miss604 http://ow.ly/3BUmv

I will draw one winner at 10:00am on January 20, 2011.

Update GigaPan Systems in Oregon heard about this giveaway and they would love to include a GigaPan shoulder bag (value $70 USD) for the device. The prize winner will now receive the GigaPan EPIC as well as the bag.

Update Andy is the winner! Enjoy the instrument and the shoulder bag!

    I’ve been dabbling with panoramas and stitching for while and this seems to be a great tool for my Nikon and would improve on the manual method of setting the lens positioning.

  183. CindyFriday, January 14th, 2011 — 3:34pm PST

    This looks so neat! Our whole family would be interested in using it!

  184. RolandFriday, January 14th, 2011 — 3:45pm PST

    Tried it with the iPhone+Auto Stitch (check this page: http://bit.ly/gHTipC) but nowhere near what you can do with ‘monster’.
    Would like to take this to Whistler and/or Black Tusk in BC and share it with the world!
