Panorama Picnic

It looks like we will have at least 7, if not 9, panorama heads to work with in the class. They are all different and will give you a good idea of the range of possibilities.  We’ll have some high-end ones from Manfrotto, 360Precision, and Nodal Ninja.  As noted in an earlier post, we will have the robotic gigapixel one, as well as a “ring” head that can go on a pole (A pole cam allows you to get the camera up high or into tight places).  Some of the heads are light-weight and easy to use, others are rock solid and can do multi-row work.  If you were thinking of purchasing a head for this class, I would suggest that you just wait and try them all out.  15 years ago I would have died for this opportunity to test drive all these styles, weights, and complexities.
