Suggest Pano Head

I have the Kadian Quick pan head and do not like it. I would like suggestions please.
1. Is there a website which sells and compares heads?
2. Do you have suggestions? I am not looking for cheap. Quality and value are important.
Thank you so much
Rich Gilman

Hi Rich,
I use to have a Kaidan Quickpan and I didn't like it either or the support from Kaidan. It was heavy and very limiting.
I found and now use www.agnos.com as my main panohead. Namely the Professional MrotatorT series. Currently I use the MrotatorTCPS with Ring T and couldn't be happier with the product or the service. The only thing is you must by direct from the developer in Italy. (Agnos Equipment). This should not concern or deter you, as I found delivery fast to Australia and many others from all around the world have found the same service. The range of quality panorama heads and accessories from Agnos is always growing.
Second to the Agnos Panohead I use for my trail walking the best light weight panohead on the market the www.nodalninja.com Nodal Ninja 3 panohead. I love it because it is so small and light to carry. Again, well built and the service from Bill is first class. Nodal Ninja offer a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee and you can't beat that!
Both of these panoheads support click stops and both can rotate 90 degrees up and 90 degrees down.
Regards, Smooth

Or you may choose to buy not direct from them, but buy from here,
www.red-door.co.uk/
as I did, and very pleased with the excellent service as well.
Brilliant, if in UK give the guy a call.
Hope that helps, John.

Hi,
Like smooth, I'm an agnos user. I have the mRotatorA for my old Nikon Coolpix4300/FC-E8 setup and just recently got the mRotatorTCPS with ringT8S for my D70s/Sigma 8mm f/3.5 setup.
Both work as advertised. Easy setup plus you can leave the mRotatorA and ringT right on the lenses. Pop them back on and you're ready to shoot. It really cuts down on setup which helps immensely when you have lots of scenes to take.
I bought directly from agnos. Safe, secure, and fast to the U.S. As far as customer service, they've answered all my emails within a day.
I now plan on getting the mRotatorDelta pole in a few weeks.
Thanks,
eagle

I use a Nodal Ninja 3. I replaced my Kaidan with it recently and couldn't be happier. The main thing I like about it, other than its quality and precision, is how small and light it is - I can pack it in my tripod bag. And, it only costs about $200.

Hi Roundshot,
I take it that is your website?
Cool device. Too much for my blood though. 
Thanks,
