Gigapan?

Anyone have or have used one of these? They look really cool and the results are awesome for my line of work.

Not the greatest "artsy" images but the results would be great for web traffic on big construction projects.

I've used one for multi-row landscape panos, and they are sweet. My friend is selling hers right now, I wish I could afford it, but I plan on grabbing a cheap(er) option with the nodal ninja this spring.

Another option and around the same price (I believe) is an emotimo tb3. You can still do multi-row panos by setting the start and end points, but also do motion controlled timelapses which are awesome.

Your employer can charge it off as a business expense.

Of course, you're going to have to practice with it.

A lot.

Everywhere.

Well of course I'd make my employer pay for it!

And yes lots of off hours practice will be needed.
