easy to use

Still learning software. I was able to shoot a simple panarama and stitch it within a hour of un boxing.

Panoramas Made Easy

The GigaPan Epic Pro makes taking very good panoramas easy and the stitching software (Stitch.Efx) is excellent; but very limited in "photo development" attributes. Therefore, it is advisable to develop each photograph in the panorama prior to importing to the stitching software using the same settings to ensure consistency in the finished panorama image. I have had some difficulty is setting the proper field of view, which may be a glitch in the firmware. It is too early to tell. The Epic Pro is fairly intuitive and does not require much training to enable effective use. It is a bit heavy so a stable tripod is essential. The Epic Pro is a great tool for large landscapes, or for indoor shots such as a detailed library wall. It may also have considerable value as a real estate marketing tool capable of 360 degree panos of rooms.

A very expensive tripod head

This is the absolute "must have" for panoramic photography! The robotic tripod head allows for taking panoramics virtually unattended. It is large and heavy so you need a good sturdy tripod for this head. Attaching the camera (I have a Canon 7D) is simple with the foot provided. All the cables you need are supplied, I could not see a mark as to which camera each cable was used for. Setting up the GigaPan is quite simple, the device walks you through. Taking your first set of shots is again a hand holding affair with the GigaPan, it walks you through. I was sorely disapointed with the software. I use camera RAW for shooting - the supplied software is for JPG. This is a small dissapointment as I use PhotoShop anyway. I purchased this as a kit and it came with an extra battery and the much needed case/backpack. I would not recommend not purchasing the kit because the GigaPan will NOT fit in your normal camera case or backpack. Overall I would rate this device as extraordinary! This is not a casual use item, it has but a single purpose and it does it extremely well. Don't think you are going to go merily skipping through the mountains with this device on your back, it is large, heavy, bulky and (again) requires a good sturdy tripod to work correctly.
