The Novoflex PANORAMA=Q 48 tripod head is a compact, lightweight panning base designed for panoramic photography. With a height of 31 mm, width of 87 mm and weight of 240 g, it combines portability with precise mechanical features to support accurate horizontal leveling and smooth rotation.

Advantages

The PANORAMA=Q 48 incorporates a ball-bearing for play-free operation, a 360° laser-engraved scale with 5° increments and built-in click stops at 7.5°, 10°, 12°, and 22.5° increments. It includes a bubble level for exact horizontal alignment, an immersible anti-twist pin, a 3/8"–1/4" tripod connection and an integrated Q-MOUNT quick release unit, offering stepless rotation as well as indexed detents for consistent panoramic framing.

Suitable for

• Panoramic photography and stitched wide-angle images

How to use

Attach the PANORAMA=Q 48 to a compatible tripod using the 3/8" or 1/4" connection. Secure the camera or quick-release plate to the integrated Q-MOUNT unit. Level the head using the bubble level, engage the anti-twist pin if required, and use the panning control to rotate smoothly. For precise panoramic steps, use the laser-engraved scale or the built-in click stops at the desired increment, or switch to stepless rotation for continuous adjustment.

Recommendations

For best stitching results, use consistent camera settings and lock exposure and white balance. When working in wet conditions, the immersible anti-twist pin allows safe use, but rinse and dry the unit after immersion to maintain smooth ball-bearing operation.
