Why do I need a tripod head?

A panoramic tripod head makes it possible to easily capture a sequence of photos that are stitched to form a complete panoramic image. It holds the camera in the portrait orienta- tion, positions the camera so that it rotates around the optical center or nodal point of the lens and provides a repeatable and adjustable click- stop indexing mechanism.
