Panoramic tripod heads

Kaidan, Peace River Studios, and Manfrotto, among others, make panoramic tripod heads for QTVR virtual reality scenes. I have seen the Kaidan and Manfrotto panorama heads at trade shows including PMA and Photokina, but have not yet seen the 3Sixty head from Peace River Studios.

We ourselves have two digital panoramic tripod heads from BetterLight. With the BetterLight system you don't have to stitch overlapping shots since this motorized pano head takes on continuous 360 degree panorama. So you stitch only at the end, just once. Hence you don't get ugly joining-lines where viewers can see the poor overlap.

Additional information on Gitzo tripods, Manfrotto tripod heads, Elinchrome strobes, Metz flash equipment, and BogenImaging light stands is readily available from the distributor (BogenImaiging) at: info@bogenimaging.com or telephone (201) 818-9500.
