Kaidan Announces a Panoramic Tripod Head Designed Expressly for the Nikon Coolpix 900/900S

LAS VEGAS--Feb. 18, 1999-- The leading manufacturer of Photographic VR solutions for the Internet, Kaidan Incorporated, today announced the KiWi(tm) 900 Panoramic Tripod Head. Scheduled to ship in Q2-1999, the KiWi 900 will retail for .95.

Designed to work with Nikon's popular Coolpix 900/900S digital cameras, the KiWi 900 offers an ideal, cost-effective way to create high-quality, professional photographic VR panoramas. Aimed at photographers, multimedia developers and webpage designers, the KiWi 900 is ideal for real estate, travel, education, and e-commerce applications.

The KiWi 900 comes with a twin-axis bubble level, a camera slider/positioner, a captive camera attachment knob and two detent discs for the proper angular indexing for the standard and optional Nikon wide-angle lenses. The KiWi 900 also has two discrete mounting locations to accommodate the nodal points (optical centers) of the Nikon standard and wide-angle lenses, thus, there's no need to make measurements or tests in order to figure out the nodal point. There is also a mounting slot that is used to position the camera anywhere along the camera bracket in order to support any add-on lens.
