I typed Pano in search and i got only 3 threads in Accessories and i read them all, but are there answers or just some recommending some brands to choose between?
say i don't want to get Manfrotto heads, i want to keep myself with Gitzo or RRS or Markins or Kirk, any of them can be good but i hope to get one which is the best or more practical to use.

Do you think usng normal heads [Such as RRS BH-XX or Markins MX0/Q3] can be enough or you prefer to go with special heads for panos?

A different take....

Who needs pano heads anymore. The photomerge software has gotten so good, you can ALMOST do them handheld....

(emphasis on almost.......)

So taking your words i can say that all those Pano heads are not so necessary and they were used in the past because no many good panos softwares?

I just waiting my ballheads and then i will give it a try before i think if i need another tool for pano or not.

No, in the past, panoramic heads were used for FILM images which where then added together as composite frames that held multiple images

I am not an expert, but the new photomerge in elements 6 is fantastic. I have only played with the tutorials, but it seemed so much easier than before.

I can't say that the pan head isn't worth it, though -- not my area of expertise.
