Looking @ doing some macro work – will the mechanics of a GP Pro function when attached to a vertical mount like a Polaroid MP4 stand? Will using it this way wreak the internals?

Because the GigaPan imagers are not specifically designed for this and generally need to be in an upright position for proper operation, don’t put too heavy of a camera system on the imager. It could damage it and void your warranty. We’ve heard of others who’ve mounted their imagers on a copy stand; perhaps we’ll see something come up in this thread with further advice.
