The Really Right Stuff PG-02 pano rig on the Really Right Stuff TVC-34L tripod with leveling base is my preferred rig for panoramas and stitched images, but that’s way too heavy for many of my hikes. Look at the far smaller Really Right Stuff PG-01 if shooting a smaller camera, like Sony mirrorless.
I have a few suggestions for Really Right Stuff: first, put the PG-02 on a weight diet and see if the rotation can be made to click so that I can hear click-click-click for each degree or rotation. Second, the PG-01 leveling mechanism is rather stiff and fiddly—maybe it can be improved (and maybe not, given its lovely compactness). Third, seems like there is a lot of room in size/weight between the PG-01 and PG-02—an intermediate choice at about 2 pounds possibly?

Shot in 4K, YouTube mangles the video quality, but given the focus problems with the iPhone 7... whatever. With all the hoopla about AI, can’t Apple get an iPhone to focus intelligently?
