I am intending to get a Panoramic head. Anyone has any experience on which type of head is good and stable ?
I am currently using a Medium Format camera ( film back ). Weight of camera with lens should be about 1.5Kg.
Will try to keep the price to be below $200. There are some Gimbal head that seems to be able to do the job, but the price tag seems to be over the top ( > $500 ).
Currently looking at getting a Panoramic Pivot , just a pivot, use together with an L-PLATE and a plain extension bar to achieve both the horizontal and vertical axis panning.
something like this

many thanks in advance,
