Re: motorized panorama head

Hi Traugott,
The reason I ask is that I have been thinking about motorized heads
too, but for 2 reasons. With a motorized head and a wide angle lens
you could be shooting panoramas, but a motorized head and a telephoto
lens you could be shooting gigapixel images!
I was looking into something that with a bit of adjustment would be
able to produce both, after all at the end of the day both are just
stitching images together to produce a finished view.
