So there´s no more simulation-mode?

Just choose the Simulation plugins

Ah - i see, sorry!

But honestly: setting angles or fov by scrolling in the number boxes is VERY uncomfortably. Try to set 75° for both directions . . . to hit it exactly you have to try hard. It was MUCH faster and more comfortable to type in exact numbers.
The wite-coloured numbers on light blue background really don´t help it.

Generally: why did you design it that much more complicated in all respects? All the settings seem to be less comfortable to handle.

System 1.6.1 was more straight, more transparent, more intuitive. Actually one now have to change settings in 5 menues instead of one or two to get the same results. 

What´s the realistic advantage of using the actual system instead of 1.6.1?

Dear Frédéric,

I just started reading this forum. Your first point was about timelapse.

I didn't see others thinking it's necessary but I do!

I'm new to most things here and I don't know if my problems have already been solved.

But I'm killing it in Los Angeles.

I've sold 2 timelapses and a 25 link autopano tour file to Nike.

I'm doing killer work and all the timelapse features I can get need to STAY or get better!

Please!

Frederic,

Some time back I mentioned that it would be good to have the option when mounting the camera in landscape orientation to be able to mount it with the vertical arm of the Merlin to then left - when looking from behind the camera - rather than to the right. This would allow the lens axis to be positioned closer to to the axis of rotation and make the camera grip and many controls more easily accessible/usable.

Papywizard cannot currently accommodate that.

You said you'd investigate whther it was possible to add a parameter to allow this to work.

Is it likely to be possible?

Bonjour Frederic

I realise that you are pushed for time and it's hard to make enough time to implement features. But, If you were to put aside some time towards timelapse, I would happily spend the time helping you in the features/requirements development and also any beta testing and bug weeding out.
I'm a director of photography and have time and equipment. I've done many timelapse's (static) but now really want to implement movement with my Merlin head. I would gladly help you-help us, by adding timelapse functionality.
I could happily breakdown features into a timeline of importance/relevancy from the most basic to an advanced level, for a working timelapse application.

The DLSR market has gone ballistic and is set to continue. There is a massive market for a working timelapse solution. You appear to be the keymaster

short of begging, how do I (or we, the HDSLR market) convince you to spare some time?
