For shooting Virtual Reality objects, Cylindrical Panoramas and Spherical (Cubic) Panoramas

Manfrotto 300N QTVR Panoramic Rotation Unit  
$229.99 20300N
Take sequential constant-angle shots around a single axis, an essential part of achieving accurate and easy-to-stitch panoramic compositions. The set positions of the 300N give ample choice of rotation angle and so of number of photos needed to complete a 360° pan and cover the most common requests of panoramic photographers depending on the camera/lens equipment used.

To make angle selection easier, a "click-stop" selector screw is included and attached to a safety cable to prevent it from being lost. The 300N also comes complete with a secondary locking screw which stops unwanted or accidental rotation of the head when heavy or off-center equipment makes it less balanced or when the head is used for non-horizontal rotation.

The 300N can also be used as a turntable base for object panoramas, or as a means of reading the angle of rotation of camera pan movements in a range of photography. A camera can be mounted on the panoramic unit by adding one of a range of quick release, sliding or fixed plates or a conventional geared, ball or 3-way head.

Manfrotto 303 Virtual Reality Pan Head
$448.99 203030
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 center of panoramic rotation to ensure that parallax effects do not cause problems during image stitching. It is built around (and includes) the 300N panoramic unit, adding a system of sliding horizontal and vertical plates for accurate positioning of the camera nodal point. The plates have engraved index rules to make subsequent repositioning easier. The included quick release elbow bracket lets the photographer use the portrait orientation of the camera gaining vertical field.

Convenient quick release elbow bracket with 1/4 - 20"and 3/8" male screw for camera attachment. 3/8" female tripod fitting.

By removing vertical brackets, the 303 can also be used as an object turntable
The system is suitable for most 35mm SLR still and digital stills cameras using wide-angle or standard lenses.
Double sliding plate with 80mm (3.1 in) of adjustment for precise nodal point positioning.

Manfrotto 303PLUS Virtual Reality Head
$534.99 20303PLUS
advanced panoramic photography head is built around the 300N pan rotation unit, with sliding plates for nodal point positioning and an elbow bracket to allow the camera to be mounted in either portrait or landscape orientation. It incorporates precise geared movements of the two sliding plates used to locate the camera over the panoramic axis of rotation, adding greater accuracy to nodal point positioning. The micro-positioning plates provide extremely precise fingertip adjustment via a gear drive system; a release button disengages the gear drive to facilitate rapid movement of the plates when required. The plates are also longer than those of the 303 head, which helps to make this head suitable for use with larger traditional or digital SLR cameras equipped with standard or wide angle lenses, or for medium format cameras. 

• Double micro positioning sliding plates - 180mm (7.1 in) long with 120mm (4.7 in) of adjustment for precise nodal point positioning.
• Convenient quick release elbow bracket with 1/4 - 20"and 3/8" male screw for camera attachment.
• 3/8" female tripod fitting.
• Dual graduated scale to set the angle of rotation to any of the following: 90°, 60°, 45°, 36°, 30°, 24°, 20°, 15°, 10°, 5° (respectively equivalent to 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 18, 24, 36 or 72 photos to achieve a full 360° rotation) – on upper part of 300N rotation unit
• By removing vertical brackets, the 303PLUS can also be used as an object turntable.
• Graduated scale from 0° to 360° on lower part of 300N rotation unit.

Manfrotto 303SPH Multi-row Pan Head
$699.99 20303SPH
    The 303SPH has sliding plates to position the camera over the panoramic axis of rotation, plus a sliding plate which rotates around the front/back tilt axis. This allows the camera to be rotated on both horizontal and vertical axes around the camera/lens nodal point, so multi-row panoramic photo sequences (cubic VR photos) can be taken accurately and easily.
     Using the 303SPH ensures that software used for photo stitching produces a precisely composed VR environment with minimum post-production intervention or software correction.
     The 303SPH's vertical bracket can be unlocked and rotated through 90° (then re-locked) so that the head takes up less space in transport, and so that the sliding plate mechanisms are protected against knocks and bumps. The 303SPH comes complete with a extra set of sliding plates for use with cameras of different sizes.

Locking and unlocking of the half ball is via a turning grip on the bottom of the center column, which can be removed during fitting of the column to your existing tripod. The half ball-mounted plate has a male 3/8" screw for attachment to a photo or video head, and a bubble spirit level for added ease of use.
