Seems that the pipe is clear now - I got exchanged by few emails with Matt, heads are waiting for a collector from the post. Matt also kindly offered a fair compensation for the troubles with angry buyers.

Hans Nyberg said: Adjust Giga 1.3 kg
Ultimate M1L 2.3 kg + all the extra needed for same compatibility. My guess in all 3 kg.
Unfortunately the information provided at the NN website is minimal and for the buyer who does not have a large knowledge about what is needed it is impossible to know what you need.
The fact that you can not shoot with wide fisheyes with the Ultimate without extra additions is not mentioned and it is not even described anywhere what you need for it.
Same with special lenses like the 14-24mm Nikon.
If NN wants to get back in business they need to do some work on this.
BTW the NN4 is not still on the website until you get into the store.
Hans
The weight of Ultimate M1L in configuration with comparable functionality as Giga? My guess is 400 grams. 450 at most 
Should agree, thouigh, that NN could make both the e-store and the main site more structured and informative.
And heinz is right: NN has one important advantage - a very active forum and great community, ready to support if necessary.

Suppose that a topic starter have made his desision already.
I just want to say that new NN M1L is a rock solid and a weight of a planned comob won't cause even slight twist.
It only dfrawback in my eyes is a necessity to use an extra clamp to avoid the view obscuring while shooting with the shaved fisheyes on FF cameras.
Or, NN, please design a shorter upper rail!

Andrew,
Yes, it is totally normal to warn a buyer that his order will be fulfilled, say, in three weeks after payment. It is more than normal to expect that a seller will inform a buyer that he can't ship order in time and offer to return money.
To add a little spice. I am (was?) a reseller of 360precision products here in Russia and these 4 orders placed in behalf of my customers. And now they blame and call an asshole ME.
A month ago Matt wrote to me that he "is sending a Giga today and a rest of order this week". Last Monday he wrote that orders will be shipped 'this week'. Every time I translate it to my buyers and looks even greater asshole in thier eyes after nihil happens.
My reputation of reliable seller is severely suffering.
Needless to say that I never heard a word 'sorry' from Matt.
I am also a reseller of NN stuff. NN is not a mega corporation, it has just a few people in staff, huge (now) list of parts and heads - but what a difference in communication! Being a NN reseller either you should know it very well.
Andrey.

Not bad for a 'quick and dirty' approach. The general athmosphere is expressed pretty well.
With moderate postprocessing these panos can be greatly improved.
Thank you for sharing!

Smooth, seems that you are very close to the core.
Matthew clarifies his 'law' at the PPoFB - those who are interested can check one of the recent threads. In two words: if you have ordered a head and paid for it and want to know when it will be shipped, if Matt doesn't have heads at the shelf he will stay silent. Because the silence it the answer itself. And he is busy with a serious stuff.

Preferably his mobile and/or home phone?
Can't get response on my emails addressed at "Matthew Rogers" <matthew@360precision.com> and at the messages sent through FB.
Thank you.

Smooth said: It's a case of just because you can shoot without being level and correct it is post processing - doesn't mean this is best practice.
Can't be said better.

Oops, didn't expect that someone will be ready to watch all 31 pano 
Here is a link to the proper section of the portal: auto.mail.ru/panoramas.html?gallery_id=3
It is in Russian only, but the navigation is pretty straightforward.
Some panos were used as an additional illustrations for the articles devoted to particular participant's booths, like this article about AUDI: auto.mail.ru/article.html?id=35228
A client likes the reaction of it's audience, we talk about similar coverage for the nearest car show in Genève.

Robert Harshman said: Level while shooting is a novice need, not a pro's requirement.
Robert,
I can't call myself a novice, but whenever it is possible I level my setup. It saves time necessary to level pano at the stitching stage, not saying about the situations when a pano scene just doesn't have distinct vertical lines.

DennisS said: I am going to try tilting down 15 degrees with the intent to get more of the good part of the lens to cover the Nadir.
Same here. It was my usual technique (tilting down 10-15 degrees) when I was shooting with Sigma 8 for the same reasons: without tilt the nadir area was noticeably softer than the rest of the image.

mediavets said: Indeed, heavier than a Nikon D3100 DSLR and Sigma 8mm f3.5 fisheye combination.
My vote would go for this combo! Especially taking into consideration that the topic starter already has a Sigma 8/3.5
