"The Sphere" professional 3-Axis compact system for Photogrammetry & Focus Stacking

"The Sphere" professional 3-Axis compact system for Photogrammetry & Focus Stacking
Based on the "poof-of-concept" "The Sphere" a 3-Axis Panorama Focus Stacking & Photogrammetry system, I developed a new more professional "The Sphere" 3-Axis compact system for Photogrammetry & Focus Stacking device.
This design includes a lot of impprovements and enhancements based customer input and experiences from daily use.
The system can be operated both stationary and mobile.
Appropriate mobile power supplies and adapters for the 12V on-board network in the car are available for mobile operation.
