Automated Turntable Photography System

Inspired by the commercial PhotoCapture 360 system, Muris designed his own spinning-product camera controller that includes custom software to synchronize turntable rotation and photography through a single USB port. He wrote the program, built the turntable (using a stepper motor from an old scanner), and hacked an off-the shelf camera remote to provide control of the DSLR. [Thanks, Muris!]

    360 product photography is a great way to showcase products online. Today there are options to show the products in flash or HTML5. The production times have been greatly reduced to the point that every online store should be thinking about it, if they do not already have the technology.

    That is just my opinion though
