True but you still need some sort of clamp, and something that will rotate and remain level. The RRS panning clamp is ideal, and you can either put it on a ballhead, or on a leveling base. I already had two ballheads, so the choice for me was simple.
Plus, with the ballhead option, you have a nice ballhead that stands on it's own when you're not doing panos.
Most of the time, however, I just handhold panos. The image stabilization is getting better all the time.
Well, it's not a head. It's simply a very convenient way to level anything you place on top of it...like a head...or camera.
It helps older tripods get an upgrade. I won't use a tripod without top level capability...it's that much better.
