Street Pano Head # 3

Okay.. I'm burned out on this project - but here goes: The latest NOT field tested prototype.

First the basic criteria for a Street Pano head as I see it:
1. Must not interfere with normal street shooting.
2. Be quick to set up and unobtrusive in use.
3 Provide for smooth stable pan around nodal point while handheld.
So I gathered this stuff:
And made this:
That fits on the camera like so:

and then you use it like this:The plastic bottle neck attaches at the nodal point using a cable tie and the rotates around the dowel. The concept I think is reasonable sound, the execution could use some refinements. That's it for now.
