Thanks for the info and links.
Just out of curiosity, has anyone used the tripod head system offered by
Novoflex?
http://www.novoflex.de/english/html/products.htm
The reference to Jook's Apple Store shot reminded me that Uri asked a
question a few days back that seemingly got lost under the weight of the
funding debate:

club.
I'm amazed at Jook's ability to shoot crowd panoramas; no matter how
fast I shoot, I still get lots of "ghosts". Do I have to practice a
kind of fast "pirouette" with the camera over my head or what? Any
suggestions?
I would definitely like to know more about getting crisp shots of people
close to the camera - especially in low light situations, which this store
opening definitely is. I imagine the ISO has to be cranked way up and as
few shots taken as possible - or does Jook have friends from the police
department that scream "Everybody Freeze!" when he is ready for the shots?
Lastly, does "shavers" refer to using an extreme fish-eye to shave shots
out of the workflow? Please educate a newbie!
