Panoramic head

[Johnytuono]

Hi
Looking for a panoramic head that enables me to shoot multi-rows too. It has to be able to hold the weight of a D800 + 14-24mm lens and L bracket. Any recommendations please?
Thanks

I'm using one similar to this: http://www.scvphotoideas.com/2010/11/create-multi-row-panorama-head.html

... only difference is, that I'm using two Benro PC-1 instead of the smaller PC-0 panoclamp.

Very, very sturdy and is mounted on gear in sig.

Mainly only use one PC-1 clamp mounted directly on my ballhead, as I mostly shoot single rows... saves a couple of pounds too.

^^^That's the kind of rig you need, that pivots around the lens' entrance pupil (sometimes referred to as the nodal point) in both horizontal and vertical planes.

Off the top of my head, look at Benro, Really Right Stuff, SunwayFoto, Hejnar, Nodal Ninja, Custom Brackets, maybe Kirk and Markins too, Feisol etc. You may not like some of the prices, though if you know what you want, and it's all Arca-Swiss compatible as those brands are, you can mix and match components from different manufacturers.
