The Wheeler Sunpredictor
Created by cinematographer John Wheeler, this handheld device calculates the
sun's position for any date, time, and location in the world. It features
highly sophisticated sun prediction software, which makes it a useful tool for
photographers, cinematographers, production designers, and location coordinators.
The Wheeler Sunpredictor charts the sun's geographic position in a daily
transit path graphically and also numerically, as compass bearing. In addition,
it lists the total number of hours of sunlight. Contact: Wheeler Sunpredictor,
51 Lewisham Rd., Windsor, VIC 3181, Australia; +61 (3) 9521-1607.
