Valentin,

I like your picture and will comment later. Could you show some of the still from that shoot? That's always interesting.

Right now could you introduce us to your Precision 36 Panoramic head as there are different models. What made you chose ths, especially over the Really Right Stuff options? A lot of folk seem to go with RRS Panoramic Equipment?

thank you Asher

thank you Asher for the kind words and interest

regarding the pano-head, I chose the Adjuste 360 Precision because I wanted a sturdy and reliable one and this one was the closest to what I expect from such a device.
Personally I have the experience with the Nodal Ninja 3 - which is quite reliable and enough for light cameras. I also have a motorized head similar to the one here (that one was sold some time ago to my knowledge) http://www.panoguide.com/forums/classifieds/6684/ and frankly, because of all the troubles this creates... I'd love to be able to use the camera with a fisheye lens without tripod and panoramic head - draws a lot of unwanted attention and it weights a lot.

Besides the high price I don't find faults in the panoramic head, but it is important. The MK2 is even better - adapted for gigapixel panoramas and a wider range of needs.
