Tony,
Not sure if they are still around. I too was in the market to purchase one of their heads, but their reputation (customer service) put me off. Seems like your story justified my reticence.
That is no way to run a business, a shame but indefensible. Proceed with haste!
Good Luck.

Hi Bob,
I agree that the creative possibilities that PS offers are fantastic. However, it is also true that it permits a lack of craft to be and excuse the pun - masked.
This leads to laziness of technique because ....it can be fixed in PS.
I don't want to sound like an old fart because I use it everyday and love its capabilities, but I remember Adams saying that bracketing exposures was evidence of poor technique and wasteful. How far we have come!
When did you say the release date was?

Bob,
It is at the same time both impressive and tragic, this is the dawning of the lament for photography.

Hi,
Does anybody out there have any experience of using the above combination?
The camera is a big lump and I was wondering if the Ninja is up to the job in terms of stability? Or would a 360 Precision be a better option?
Regards
Paul.

Thanks for the reply.
Do you need any other software to accompany Flashificator on a Mac.

Just a quick question, Flashificator seems a very popular program. I use a Mac, is Flashifcator any use to me?
Your comments would be appreciated.

Andrew - thank you!
All of that was very useful information and I agree with you totally about Pano2vr.
It will be valuable to a lot of us who wish to concentrate more on the visual side of things than actually writing code. Not criticising at all, just that I am not capable of doing the coding but still want to enjoy the process. I take my hat off to the coding experts.
Maybe I will give APT a go now - after all I have paid for it!

Hi Hans,
Thank you for your reply. Slowly, I am beginning to understand!
I will be shooting the type of subjects that you suggest. Maybe PTGui is the way to go - which is a bit of a bummer as I have just invested in APG/APT!
Regards
Paul.

Hi Andrew,
I have APT but have not used it yet. I thought I would try and understand APG first!
Currently I am using Pano2vr, do you have any experience of this program?
How does it compare to APT?

Hi Andrew,
I am using a NNR10 and shooting 4 images with a +5 degree tilt for the Zenith. Not shooting Nadir image.
Not having horrendous problems but with my other pano head a Manfrotto 303SPH and using a canon 20mm lens, I was having problems achieving a very accurate NPP position - but that was probably down to me!
Hopefully, the R10 will help with this.
Seems as though you have cleared up some confusion for me though. In APG a good stitch being possible with auto/manual set control points.
Thanks again.
Paul

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your reply.
So, are you saying that with my set up there is no advantage to using a template in APG?
If so why? I have been led to believe that this greatly speeds up the process.
Also, is it possible to tell APG Y P and R values? Does this help to achieve perfect stitching ?
Paul.

Hi Hans,
Thank you. I am using a Sigma 8mm with a full frame chip canon.
Is the process for setting yaw pitch and roll crucial in achieving a perfect stitch?
