Thank you, Erik, for your post. It was helpful. I'm guessing the
following is one of the things you wanted me to see in the User
Guidelines: "don't rely on the sense of humour" - point taken, I just
did not want to type what I was really thinking. ;-)
Guide also says:
/"PanotoolsNG/ was set up to provide a home for open discussion of the
creation and display of panoramas, panoramic images and associated
technologies. Topics range from artistic appreciation and aims to
heavily technical discourses.
We have members with a wide range of experiences and the newcomer is
asked not to be intimidated by the level of some discussions. There is a
saying _"there is no such thing as a stupid question - just occasionally
stupid answers."_

I have tried to contact them, but have not heard anything in over a week.

I have read this page and many others on pano heads._
I also had a question about the Nodal Ninja pano head:
It seems so much easier to use one of the Angno head (MrotatorA) rather
than use the
Nodal Ninja. The Ninja works somewhat like the Panosaurus and is a lot
of trouble to set up; both in time and effort.
It is very difficult for me to believe that someone can set up a camera
with the Ninja in 15 seconds. It takes me that long to get the
Panosaurus out and unbox the Fisheye NIKON FC-E8 to put on the camera. I
guess I really need a few leasons in how to assemble all these parts.
Thank you,
Rayburn
