Looking for a Panoramic setup that has "click stops" on both vertical and horizontal axis? Does one exist?

Am looking to try some Large Format BokehRama (aka Brenizer) portrais but I don't love the idea of shooting a crazy amount of shots and hoping for the best. Was hoping to approach with a tripod and Pano head method and was thinking a head with "click stops" would be ideal, as it would mean I do not have to look down at the head each time...

Hopefully, would be a somewhat intuitive feel, if that is even possible with this technique :)

Most Panoramic heads that I have looked at only have click stops on the bottom panning base and not the top vertical panning head. Is there one out there that does this?

Or would it be a matter of Macgyvering one out of two panning heads?

Thanks!

I haven’t seen anything like this, but you should be able to put one together with 2 heads and an L bracket for a camera.
The lower head should be set up for a level horizontal pan.

Another option might be a screw driven leveller on top of a level horizontal click stop panning base. You could count the number of turns needed to move vertically.

Panoramic Head

The 303 pan head permits the photographer to take sequential constant-angle shots around a single axis with his or her camera either in portrait or landscape position, and with the nodal point of the camera/lens in line with the centre of panoramic rotation to ensure that parallax effects do not...
