Hi!

 

I have a D3300 and want to create HDR panoramas to use as lighting in 3D renders. But it doesn`t have multi expussure options and I don`t want to do it manually to avoid movement. Is there an external device that would allow me to take different expossures of the same shot?

 

Would something like this allow me to do it?

Any advice is welcome!

I have a d3300 and TTBOMK, you'll need a tripod for that.

But if you're relatively steady, you could use a stack with auto-alignment in apps like Photoshop or Affinity Photo to align images that were taken hand held.

Thanks.

I have a tripod and I`m searching for a decent panoramic head as well. But even with a tripod, the manual exposure issue worries me a bit, so that`s why I was considering one of the linked items. I`m just not sure if they really do what I need.

The problem with the D3300 is that Nikon purposefully strips out many features to entice you to buy a more expensive model. This includes exposure bracketing and support for tethered shooting (software only features).

 

Get a head with a separate pano axis that locks down securely and you should be good.

 

Also note that if you shoot raw you will have quite a bit of exposure leeway (so long as you don't blow out anything) for adjustment before you stitch.
