[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 568563, member: 9240"] There are handheld techniques that make shooting panos cleaner, and modern software is extremely good at both stitching and even perspective correction (I use LR for all my Pano stitching). That said, if you're going to do [B][I]really detailed[/I][/B] pano work - where you're dealing with objects both near and far - then you need a decent tripod system that ensures that the camera and lens rotate at a single point so that you don't have the same window on both sides of a lamp post and other things to clean up. I have a Nodal Ninja 4 that I got on a good deal off eBay. Don't use it enough but I need to get cracking with it. You need to spend some time getting it set up - every body & lens combination has to be calibrated. But once you have that done it's just a matter of setting the head to the numbers matching the combination you're using. Zooms with internal movements can, in general, be calibrated once at the long end, if they change length when zooming then they need to be calibrated at each use. [/QUOTE]
