When I purchased this head I thought it would be the perfect panoramic device for my 4/3 Lumix. It almost was. Couple of stupid things: the vertical separations are 15 degrees, the horizontal separations are 30 degrees. The camera is oriented vertically so that with a 50 mm equivalent lens, the horizontal separations cannot be used! They should have done the opposite, more separations horizontally than vertically. The second thing is that at least vertically you cannot set the angle other than in the pre-sets. Couple of fixes: - I altogether removed the screw to tighten the detents for the horizontal panning and taped over the hole with electrical tape against dust. Problem solved. - An undocumented feature of this head is that you can just take apart the horizontal and vertical arms, flip over the silver washer (the one with the angle marks), put the arms back together, and the detents are gone. You'll see why when you look at the washer. With these 2 changes, this is the perfect-enough pano arm. The only complaint I have left is that I have to use a separate bubble level for adjustment. Not a big deal. Finally, I wish I had purchased the cr-30c, because I would just then leave the arca-swiss plate on all the time...

Bring your panoramic photography to the next level with the Sunwayfoto CR-30 360deg. Mini Compact Panoramic Head. Engineered for the photographer on the go, this panoramic head is a marvel of portability and precision. Weighing in at a mere 11.4 oz (324g), the CR-30 is not only lighter than a standard ball head but also offers unparalleled ease of transport, making it an ideal companion for outdoor shoots and travel photography.

Crafted for compatibility and convenience, the CR-30 supports a load capacity of up to 4.4lbs, accommodating a wide range of cameras and lenses, including the popular 4/3 Lumix series. Its compact design doesn't compromise on functionality, providing smooth and accurate 360-degree panning for capturing breathtaking landscapes and cityscapes.

The CR-30 features distinct vertical and horizontal detent intervals, with 15-degree increments vertically and 30-degree increments horizontally, allowing for precise alignment and repeatable movements for multi-row panoramic images. Although designed with preset detents, innovative photographers have discovered that the head's construction allows for modifications to suit individual shooting preferences, as noted in user reviews.

While the CR-30 does not come with an integrated bubble level, its straightforward design enables the use of an external level to achieve the perfect alignment. For those who prefer a more permanent setup, the CR-30C variant with an Arca-Swiss plate might be a consideration.

In summary, the Sunwayfoto CR-30 360deg. Mini Compact Panoramic Head is the quintessential tool for photographers seeking a lightweight, reliable, and precise panoramic head that promises to deliver stunning panoramic shots without the bulk and hassle of traditional equipment. Whether you're capturing the grandeur of sweeping landscapes or the intricate details of architectural marvels, the CR-30 is designed to be your steadfast ally in the pursuit of panoramic excellence.
