GigaPan Epic Pro robotic camera mount gets upgraded to firmware version 171

The GigaPan Epic Pro has been privy to the making of some monumental & highly detailed panoramic images, & now the gigapixel gadget is getting an upgrade. The latest firmware update to the robotic camera mount brings even more exposures per position, a "dedicated mirror lock-up" for bulky lenses, & a time display that tells you how long it will take to work its panoramic magic. Among other things, the update also includes a set of new aspect ratios & the ability to take time lapse panoramas. If you are already packing a GigaPan Epic Pro, you can download the update at the source link below free -- a new rig, on the other hand, will set you back a substantial $900. That ain't cheap, but there is a reason it is called the GigaPan Epic Pro. Full PR after the break

PORTLAND, Ore. April 22, 2011 a brand spanking new version of firmware is available for the awardwinning GigaPan EPIC Pro robotic camera mount. New firmware gives photographers a wider range of functions, including new settings to enhance high dynamic ranges (HDR) imaging.

Customers who purchase the EPIC Pro will receive a free additional battery pack, complimentary with their purchase, for a limited time.

New firmware features include:
Exposure Bracketing for HDR Capture Works together with your camera's AEB (automatic exposure bracketing) firmware to capture multiple exposures per position. Can exceed the camera firmware's brackets and exposure separation when in 'Bulb' mode.

Current EPIC Pro users can download the new firmware to replace the earlier version, at no additional charge. The new firmware download is available here.

Dedicated Mirror Lockup Setting Helps prevent blurriness in images when using larger, heavier lenses, where lack of settling is amplified by optical magnification.

Time Display shows the hours and minutes it will take the EPIC Pro to capture a panorama, based on your settings. Ideal for time-sensitive shoots, such as events, or when remaining daylight is limited.

Time Lapse Panoramas lets you capture a sequence of panoramas over a set timeframe with a brand spanking new timer.
