The EPIC and EPIC 100 are easy to use little robots–they combine fun with powerful technology. These revolutionary robotic camera mounts can create amazingly cool images. Try out a few of these cool shots with your GigaPan Epic or Epic 100.
GigaPans in Motion: Capturing a Race or Sporting Event
Sporting events, races or crowds of people are great opportunities to take an EPIC shot that captures every detail of the moment. You’ll be sure to capture every face in the crowd.

Snapshots
When shooting a GigaPan of a sporting event that has a lot of motion, capture the whole scene and crowd, and then re-shoot the areas in motion individually. Drop these individual shots into the final panorama during post-production using Photoshop and you won’t have any “ghosts” or missing players.
Also, set your tripod above the crowd or at an elevated level to capture the full scene.
Multiplicity
Trick your friends by hiding triplets, quadruplets or even octuplets in your GigaPan!

Set the time delay on your camera to least 2 seconds. As the GigaPan shoots each picture from the top right to the bottom left, have your model move from frame to frame.
Games: Hide & Seek
Make your panorama fun to explore by hiding interesting objects, and create a list of these things for your friends to find.
You can either hide items in your scene before shooting the GigaPan, or insert images into your GigaPan during post-production using Photoshop.
Just following these instructions when you are uploading your GigaPan to turn it into a fun hide & seek game:
- When you upload your GigaPan to GigaPan.org, click on Edit.
- Check the “Is a Game” box.
- List the objects you’ve hidden in your GigaPan comments.

Group shots
A GigaPan is also a great opportunity to capture a class picture, team photo or any group shot. Zoom in to see every face in the crowd.
