Hi folks, I hope all is well!
Many thanks for such an insightful forum. This is my first thread, so bear with me if this topic has been discussed at length. I currently own an IQ4 back paired with an XF body and a few lenses. While in the field (I'm an anthropologist working at the Amazon), I needed to stitch 3-4 images to create panoramic shots. I've been doing it quite rudimentary using my lightweight tripod ball-head and the like with mostly unprofessional results. So, I was wondering, what would be a better solution for someone whose weight and space matter (I need to walk long distances with my equipment) and have some budget limitations? I've been looking at professional panoramic heads (a reasonably good solution) and ALPA systems (an excellent choice but definitely out of my pocket). I've been tempted by the XT camera system, but I need the XR viewfinder for on-the-spot handheld portraits and stills. I was thinking of modifying a 6x12 camera with a moving back and a P1 adapter or something like that? I appreciate any advice. Many thanks, folks!
