Is this likely to be awful?

Yes
Thinking about getting a panoramic head, but at the moment i can't justify the high price of a really good one.

I saw >> This << on amazon and wondered if anone has one or used one?

I dont know if its gonna be flimsy? I'm using a 6D with 17-40L and will have filters on etc.

Thanks in advance if anyone has any input :-)

I doubt there's any risk of damage to your camera by trying it, but I wouldn't expect a lot for that money.
The description on the link looks like a poor translation from something. Personally I wouldn't bother, I would look for something of known quality in the classified section, it's the kind of thing folks buy and then find they don't use so much.
 
It's fulfilled by Amazon so if it's not capable of doing what it's supposed to then you should be able to return it. If Amazon state that they fulfill the order for 3rd party seller stock then they aso handle the picking, packing and customer service for it.
 
I've got the macro sliders but not the bracket or the head. The sliders themselves are ok and fine when tightened up.
 
I have been using Nodal Ninja ones for several years since the first model, and they are excellent.
however for a majority of my stitches I take them hand held.
the stitching program you use, can be at least as important as a stitching head.
I use PTAssembler because I am very used to it and it is exceptionally versatile, but more of the experts prefer PTGui.

I use the photomerge software in photoshop CS5, seems to do a great job :)
I looked for the nodal ninja ones but my hunting skills obviously arent upta scratch as i couldnt find any for sale lol
 
If the fit and finish is ok, then the worst bit is likely the puck at the bottom, id consider a arcs Swiss clamp for the camera mount too, 7quid or so.
