For shooting gigapixel panos, this is a far superior machine than the
Gigapan (IMH and very biased O). The About page has a little about me:

Hi all,<br><br>Does anyone have a gigapan they'd be willing to loan out for a short trip I'll be taking to Joshua Tree? Alternately, if you can recommend a camera shop which rents such equipment I'd be really grateful!<br>
