2.3. iPano Mount Assembly

2.3.1. Charge the battery

The iPano AllView Pro Mount uses a lithium rechargeable battery to power the mount. Please using the
included wall plug charger (8.4V/2A) to full charge the battery after receiving the mount. The LED
indicator remains RED during the charging process and will turn to GREEN when charge is complete.

DO NOT charge the mount with a 12V AC adapter/battery pack or a car cigarette plug. ONLY
charge the mount using the included battery charger! Charge the mount battery before every
operation.

NEVER charge the battery when it is below 0°C (32°F)

A low battery waning (a flashing battery status indicator or beeps) will occur if the battery is low. You
may keep using the mount by plug in a wall plug charger or a 7.4V-8.4V DC power source through DC
port #12. NEVER use this way when it is below 0°C (of 32°F).

If you mount equipped a Direct DC Power Socket (DC 5.5mmX2.1mm) located at the bottom of the

mount (Figure 3), you can use a 7.4V portable power pack to keep operating the mount. Turn off the
mount before switch to portable power pack.

Figure 3. Direct Power Socket for 7.4V portable power pack

2.3.2. Attach the Mount

Carefully thread the iPano mount onto your tripod and make sure it is securely tightened. The mount
base has a 3/8” threaded socket. If your tripod only has a 1/4” threaded post, a 1/4” to 3/8” tripod
adapter screw (included) is needed,

Figure 4. Install the mount onto a tripod

2.3.3. Install the Dovetail Mounting Module

Release the Dovetail Saddle Locking Knob #16 under the Camera Mounting Platform #3. Retreat the
tip of the Locking Knob #16 below the surface of the Platform. Slide the Dovetail Mounting Module #4
into the Camera Mounting Platform #3. Tighten the Locking Knob.

Figure 5. Install dovetail mounting module

2.3.4.

Remove the Camera Quick Release Plate #18 from the Dovetail Mounting Module #4 by releasing the
Plate Locking Knob #17. Install the Quick Release Plate #18 onto the camera tripod mounting hole of
your camera and align the edges. Tighten the brass screw using a coin if needed, as shown in Figure 6.

Attach the Camera

Figure 6 Mount a Quick Release Plate onto a camera

Mount the camera onto the Dovetail Mounting Module #4 by inserting the Quick Release Plate #18 into

the dovetail saddle. If the center of the lens of the camera is aligned with the tripod mounting hole, just

align the zero mark on the Quick Release Plate to the one on the dovetail saddle (Figure 7).

Release Plate and
Dovetail Saddle



Figure 7 Align the zero marks

If the lens of a camera is off-centered from the tripod mounting hole by a distance C, as indicated in

Figure 8, you need to shift the zero mark on the Quick Release Plate by C to the zero mark on the
dovetail saddle.

Figure 8 A camera with an off-centered lens

Turn the Quick Release Plate Locking Knob #17 to lock the camera.

2.3.5. Level the Mount:

Adjust the tripod legs to level the mount by reading the Chassis Bubble Level Indicator #5 on the Mount
Base, as shown in Figure 9.

10

Figure 9 Level the mount

Use arrow button ▼ or ▲ to adjust the level of Camera Mounting Platform #3 by reading the Camera
Level Indicator #7, as shown in Figure 10. Use Shortcut Key to set the zero position (refer to 3.3.3).

Figure 10 Level the camera on the mount

2.3.6. Adjust the Camera

When taking photographs for a stitched panorama, the entrance pupil of the camera lens needs to be
kept in a constant position when the camera is rotated to point in a different direction for each shot.

This point is sometimes referred to as the No-Parallax Point (NPP), or Nodal point, or Entrance
Pupil, which can be accomplished by adjusting the Camera Mounting Platform #3 back and forth, and
Height Scale #6 up and down, as shown in Figure 11.

11

Figure 11 Adjust camera No-Parallax Point

There are two positions for Camera Mounting Platform #3: 65mm and 80mm, as shown in Figure 12. If
the distance from the base of the camera to the center of the lens is smaller than 65mm (see Figure

13), use the default setting on the Height Scale #6 (the inner scales). Otherwise, if the distance is
greater than 65mm, you need to lower the Camera Mounting Platform #3 to the 80mm position on the
Height Scale #6 and use the outer scales.

Figure 12 Maximum camera mount height 65mm and 80mm

Adjust Camera Height Position

Find the height number of the camera, the distance from the base of the camera to the center of the
lens. For example, the height number of a Canon EOS 5D Mark II is 43.5mm. Release Height Locks #1
on both Primary Arm #2 and Auxiliary Arm #8. Adjust the camera by moving the Camera Mounting
Platform #3 up and down so that the Height Scale #6 is set at the 43.5mm by reading the inner scale.

12

Figure 13 Adjust camera height position

Adjust Camera No-Parallax Point

Where is the No-Parallax Point? The physical location of the optical center is unique for each lens. For
prime lenses, the No-Parallax Point (with focus at infinity) is stationary. For zoom lenses, however, the
No-Parallax Point typically shifts for each focal length. The location of the No-Parallax Point is
commonly expressed as its distance, in millimeters.

Adjust the camera position based on the total entrance pupil distance. This number is the sum of the
camera length number, (the distance between the middle of the tripod mounting hole to the base of
the lens base, or base for adapter tube,) and the entrance pupil distance of the lens.

For example, the length number of a Canon EOS 5D Mark II is 38.5mm. The entrance pupil distance of
a Canon EF 16-35 F2.8 lens is 79mm at 16mm focal length. Therefore, the total entrance pupil distance
(or NPP) is:

38.5mm +79mm=117.5mm.

Figure 14 Adjust camera entrance pupil position

Slightly loosen the Dovetail Saddle Locking Knob #16. Move the Dovetail Mounting Module #4 back
and forth so that the 117.5mm mark on the dovetail bar is aligned to the edge of the Camera Mounting
Platform #3 (refer to the inlet in Figure 14). Tighten the Dovetail Saddle Locking Screw #16.

Note: Zoom lens has different entrance pupil distance at different focal length.

You can find camera mounting hole off-center, camera height, camera length and lens entrance pupil
position parameter from panotools.org (http://wiki.panotools.org/Entrance_Pupil_Database

A More Practical Way to Find the NPP

The NPP can be determined by experimentation. Here I show to do it:

13

).

 Find two vertical objects; one near, one far. Position your equipment so that these objects line

up in the viewfinder;

 Level the iPano and camera;
 Set the focal length of your camera;
 Start out by positioning the approximate center of your lens over the axis of rotation;
 Now pan the mount left;
 If the rear object appears to shift to the left, then you are ahead of the No-Parallax Point. Slide

the Dovetail Mounting Module #4 forward and try again;

 If the rear object appears to shift to the right, you are behind the No-Parallax Point. Slide the

Dovetail Mounting Module #4 back and try again;

 When the optical center of the lens is directly over the axis of rotation, the rear object will not

appear to move relative to the front object;

 Continue until objects stay aligned when you pan left and right;
 Record your results so that your setup can be re-created.

5. iPano AllView Mount Remote Control

A PC computer may be used to setup and control an iPano AllView Pro mount via iPano Commander.
The iPano mount can be connected to a PC via a serial cable or wirelessly.

An iPano mount can also be controlled by an iOS version iPano Commander.

5.1. Connect the mount to a computer via a serial cable

If the computer has a 9-pin, D-shape male serial port (i.e, COM port or RS232 port), connect the
supplied serial cable between the computer RS232 port and the mount RS232 port.

Figure 16. Native serial (RS232) port

If the computer only has USB ports, like most laptops do, a USB to COM converter is needed to convert
one USB port to a COM port. Here are two examples of USB2COM converters. iOptron suggests you to
acquire one with FTDI chipset.

Figure 17. USB-RS232 converters

Follow the instruction comes with the converter to install the driver. Plug the converter into one of the
available USB port of the computer. Then connect the serial cable between the RS232 ports of the
converter and the mount (Figure 18).

Figure 18. Connect RJ-9 cable to mount

Download and install iPano Commander. When a Communication Port Settings screen is opened on
your computer screen, select RS232/USB Port, click OK to connect the mount to the computer.

Figure 19. iPano Commander Port Settings

5.2. Connect the mount to a computer via a Wi-Fi connection

The iPano mount has a built-in Wi-Fi connection. Open the Wi-Fi connection panel on your computer.
Find a Wi-Fi SSID called “iPano_XXXXXX”, as shown below and connect it.

Figure 20. Wi-Fi connection

5.3. iPano Commander

After the mount is connected, iPano Commander will be loaded. Now you can set the parameter on

your computer. Some parameter changes need select Change Setting button first before any change

can be made.

IOPTRON WARRANTY

1. iOptron battery has 90 day limited warranty

2. iPanoTM AllView ProTM mount has one year limited warranty

A. iOptron warrants your iPanoTM AllView ProTM camera mount to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for one year from
date of the purchase. iOptron will repair or replace such product or part which, upon inspection by iOptron, is found to be defective in
materials or workmanship. As a condition to the obligation of iOptron to repair or replace such product, the product must be returned to
iOptron together with a proof-of-purchase satisfactory to iOptron.

B. A proper Return Merchant Authorization Number must be obtained from iOptron in advance of return. Call iOptron at 1.781.569.0200
or contact iOptron at [e-mail] via e-mail to receive the RMA number to be displayed on the outside of your shipping
container.

All returns must be accompanied by a written statement stating the name, address, and daytime telephone number of the owner,
together with a brief description of any claimed defects. Parts or product for which replacement is made shall become the property of
iOptron.

The customer shall be responsible for all costs of transportation and insurance, both to and from the factory of iOptron, and shall be
required to prepay such costs.

iOptron shall use reasonable efforts to repair or replace a mount covered by this warranty within thirty days of receipt. In the event repair
or replacement shall require more than thirty days, iOptron shall notify the customer accordingly. iOptron reserves the right to replace any
product which has been discontinued from its product line with a new product of comparable value and function.

This warranty shall be void and of no force of effect in the event a covered product has been modified in design or function, or subjected
to abuse, misuse, mishandling or unauthorized repair. Further, product malfunction or deterioration due to normal wear is not covered by
this warranty.

IOPTRON DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHETHER OF MERCHANTABILITY OF FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR USE, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HERE. THE SOLE OBLIGATION OF IOPTRON UNDER THIS LIMITED
WARRANTY SHALL BE TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE COVERED PRODUCT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS SET FORTH
HERE. IOPTRON EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LOST PROFITS, GENERAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES WHICH MAY RESULT FROM BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY, OR ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE
ANY IOPTRON PRODUCT. ANY WARRANTIES WHICH ARE IMPLIED AND WHICH CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED SHALL BE LIMITED
IN DURATION TO A TERM OF TWO YEARS FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL RETAIL PURCHASE.

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or limitation on how long an implied warranty
lasts, so the above limitations and exclusions may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

iOptron reserves the right to modify or discontinue, without prior notice to you, any model or style mount.

If warranty problems arise, or if you need assistance in using your mount contact:

NOTE: This warranty is valid to U.S.A. and Canadian customers who have purchased this product from an authorized iOptron dealer in
the U.S.A. or Canada or directly from iOptron. Warranty outside the U.S.A. and Canada is valid only to customers who purchased from
an iOptron Distributor or Authorized iOptron Dealer in the specific country. Please contact them for any warranty.
