there is a neat and moderately cheap tool for that by PT4Pano IIRC, if you're interested, I can look it up. It is an angled piece of metal that you put on your tripod with holes drilled specifically for your camera and a couple of nodal points for lenses that you specify. It eliminates all the time consuming fiddling and you can start shooting single line, single row panos within seconds or minutes depending whether or not you want to level your kit (which I strongly suggest) Here's the link: http://pt4pano.com/en The product family I am referring to is the KISS There is also now a Q mount adaptor, Novoflex's implementation of the Arca mount. Q is just a tad bit bigger for patent reasons but - given generous tolerances on the receiving end - Q plates fit most Arca compatible QR systems just fine. There are tables on the web what fits and what doesn't. Kirk, Markins and RRS all fit into Q bases, I can confirm that much.
