    Pan It
    Really Right Stuff’s PCL-1 panning clamp is a handy quick release that can replace the clamp on the top of your ballhead. For precise panning, the base locks at 2.5-degree increments and a built-in level helps line up images for easy panoramic stitching in editing software. In addition, the MPR-CL integrated rail will position the nodal point over the lens. Together, the clamp and rail are an effective panorama system. List Price: $235 (PCL-1 panning clamp); $110 (MPR-CL rail). Contact: Really Right Stuff, (888) 777-5557, www.reallyrightstuff.com.      
                 
    Just Say No
    Say goodbye to harsh, direct flash with Sto-Fen’s Omni-Bounce. The Omni fits directly over your shoe or side-mounted flash head to create softer diffused light and help eliminate those unsympathetic highlights. Made for almost every model of flash, the Omni is a useful tool for a small investment. List Price: $19.95. Contact: Sto-Fen, (800) 538-0730, www.stofen.com.      
                 
    It’s A Snap
    The Novoflex Q-Base quick-release system makes mounting a camera to a tripod quick and easy. It conveniently snaps closed automatically and securely, eliminating the possibility of equipment falling. With a built-in sliding focusing rail, the camera or lens can slide with ease for precision focusing. A full range of plates are available at a variety of lengths. List Price: $210 (Q-Base); $54 to $143 (plates). Contact: HP Marketing Corp., (800) 735-4373, www.hpmarketingcorp.com.      
                 
    Small And Big
    Sunpak’s PZ40X digital camera flash is a compact yet powerful unit. At 40 percent the size of previous models, the flash is only 3.7x2.5x3.6 inches and weighs 7.1 ounces. Having a guide number of 102 feet (ISO 100) at a 50mm zoom setting, the PZ40X is strong and works in TTL (depending on the camera) or manual control. The flash also is compatible with film cameras. List Price: $199.95. Contact: Sunpak (ToCAD America), (973) 428-9800, www.sunpak.com.
