Wheeler Sunpredictor™

The Wheeler Sunpredictor™ is the world’s most sophisticated hand-held sun prediction software. It instantly calculates the position of the sun for any date and time anywhere in the world. Its portability, intuitive graphical display and GPS based location input make it an ideal tool for cinematographers, photographers, production designers, location coordinators, architects or anyone interested in the motion of the sun. It is an essential tool for planning shots and fine tuning locations.

The Wheeler Sunpredictor™ displays the sun’s position both graphically, as a daily transit path, and numerically, as compass bearing, angle elevation, date and time of day.

Location parameters can be saved to a database, allowing location information to be repeatedly accessed without the need to re-input data.

“I was recently in Queenstown, New Zealand shooting a commercial and found the Wheeler Sunpredictor absolutely indispensable for giving me the times and bearings of where the sun was going to pop over the surrounding mountains. I needed to know exactly so that we could arrange the shooting day in advance. It made me realize just how useful it would have been in Mexico and the Galapagos for the very demanding exteriors on ‘Master and Commander’.”
