I've seen some very cool spinning photos that seem to perfectly spin around an the center axis of an object.
How is this being done? Rather what I need to figure out is what bracket or how is the camera getting clamped down to permit such a perfect spinning effect?
Without referencing an example image, it's not possible to say definitively whether something was done in post or not.
But if it looks like the image was sharp to begin with, it was probably software.
Why? What difference does it make how you use a gimmick like that? Perhaps you have an idea that requires this ability? Or is this an academic question?

He's asking how you do it and what do you use to do it with.
I have done this with various lenses over the years - and it's a novelty & no big deal really
The lens needs to have a mid-point tripod clamp / mount - as found on many 70-200 & longer lenses - and during the exposure, you slowly rotate the entire camera + lens combo to create circular lines from the street lights or whatever it is in front of you

I'm pretty sure that's not what he means, as that sort of device would be for video or a pano. Which wasn't mentioned.
My interpretation of the question is about the result you get when you apply a circular motion blur in post. Like this (linked to, not embedded):Well if that's what they want the answer is simple. I thought they had a more complicated Idea than that.
But I could be mistaken. As always: if you want good answers, you have to ask good questions.
