i have owned 5 different panorama heads over the years for doing full 360
panoramas. i've also tried probably 10 different programs to do the
stitching or stretching. ipix is the most expensive way to go. there are
plenty of other programs to choose from that are better and far cheaper. i
favor iSeeMedia PhotoVista, but ArcSoft Panorama Maker does a good job at a
similar price. Stitcher Express has a few more useful features but costs
more. i find that the nodal point is negligibly important using these three
programs if you don't have architectural features near to the camera. that
is why i stopped using all of my special panorama heads and just use an
L-bracket on a Really Right Stuff panorama clamp. i still have a Kaidan
Kiwi-L head that is looking for a good home, and a have a Manfrotto 300N
clickstop panorama base that i am not ready to part with yet.

Subject: 360 degree software
I have been looking at iPix ( www.ipix.com ) but it is majorly geared up
for the canon G6. I there something more generic to make 360 degree
panoramas, then have them mashed into a little 360 degree image that
is able to be panned?
What are folks using for tripod mounts for 360 degree images.
What other equipment could be recommended?
Kind regards
Kevin
