Panoramic Tripod Mounts
When it comes to shooting panoramic images (that is, shooting a series of overlapping images that are later stitched by special software into a single panoramic image) you can usually fare pretty well simply by holding the camera in your hand (for tips on shooting panoramic images, check out pages 251-260 of the Second Edition of Complete Digital Photography, or pages 262-266 of the Third Edition). For best results, though, you’ll want to use a special panoramic tripod mount. A panoramic mount will ensure that your camera rotates around its nodal point for more accurate overlap, and straighter edges. Note that if you’re trying to shoot full 360° VR panoramas, a panoramic mount is absolutely essential.
