The Acratech Panoramic Head is designed to facilitate precise panoramic photography with DSLR cameras and lenses as long as 600mm f/4.0. With laser-etched degree markers in both the pan and tilt dimensions, the Panoramic Head is suitable for multi-row stitched imagery, facilitating the broadest views possible. The head has separate controls for pan and tilt, of course, and there's also fully adjustable tension control.
Sturdy construction is a hallmark of the Panoramic Head – it's based on Acratech's Long Lens Head so heavy lenses will be well served. The head is composed of CNC-machined aluminum, which is anodized for a black-satin finish. Hardware is made of long-lasting stainless steel, and all knobs are secured so that they can't vibrate loose and fall off.
Use your existing Arca-style camera plate – the quick-release clamp is compatible with plates from several manufacturers (plate sold separately). The clamp is indexable, and it locks in at 90° increments.

Comments about Acratech Panoramic Head:
This head is missing an important feature. How can you adjust the nodal for the lens you will use? You will have to buy the Nodal Rail which add $200 to the price.
I would not recommand this head.

Comments about Acratech Panoramic Head:
I bought this head because I do quite a bit of panoramic shots and needed a head that would make things easier. I can do multi-row and vertical panorama's now with no problems.
