Rail for panoshooting

[arnica]

Hi All,

I've been watching a few youtube videos as of late about shooting panos. Many of the videos talk about using a rail extender for the camera to rest on. This is to reduce the parallax error recorded by the camera.

I wanted to ask if any of us here use such rails and whether ot not you've got some sample images to show me. One of the videos used the following piece of gear: MPR-CL II: MPR

I don't need to spend that amount of money, however just wanted to see what else was out there.

I currently have the following tripod setup:

• Markins L plate
• Markins Q10-Q ball head.

What additional gear would you recommend me getting? I'll be going to NZ for a couple of weeks in early December and wanted to see what gear I should bring with me.
