Steve, I have been looking mainly at panorama heads from Manfrotto and Really Right Stuff. They both allow you to mount the camera in both portrait and landscape mode as well as to mount the camera offset from the tripod's axis so that the tripod and camera rotate around the lens' nodal point axis instead of the tripod screw threads on the bottom of your camera. Really Right Stuff seems to have a tripod head that is less complex to set up and use but both seem like good quality heads. Best regards to all and thank you again for your responses.
