Abstract
A panoramic device includes a base member and a clamp member rotatably interconnected within a single plane of rotation with the base that includes a first rotatable knob to selectively inhibit the rotation of the clamp member with respect to the base. The upper surface includes a central region that is at a different elevation than another portion of the upper surface. The clamp includes a pair of opposed surfaces suitable to detachably secure a camera thereto. The one of the opposed surfaces is maintained in a fixed relationship with respect to the clamp member. The other one of the opposed surfaces is in a movable relationship with respect to the clamp member using a second rotatable knob. The first knob and the second knob are rotatably connected with respect to one another.

A panoramic device comprising:
- (a) a base member having a flat lower surface suitable to be supported by a tripod;
- (b) a clamp member having a flat upper surface rotatably interconnected within a single plane of rotation with said base that includes a first rotatable knob to selectively inhibit the rotation of said clamp member with respect to said base, wherein said flat upper surface includes a central region that is at a different elevation than another portion of said flat upper surface;
- (c) said clamp including a pair of opposed surfaces suitable to detachably secure a camera thereto, wherein one of said opposed surfaces is maintained in a fixed relationship with respect to said clamp member, wherein the other one of said opposed surfaces is in a movable relationship with respect to said clamp member using a second rotatable knob;
- (d) said first knob and said second knob are rotatably connected with respect to one another;
- and
- (e) said panoramic device includes a level bubble visible on an upper surface at a location exterior to said central region of said clamp.
