If one needs a panorma-photo of a landscape, a building or a large production machine, then in many cases one touches the limits of photography, because it is not possible, to get the total object into one photo and get also a very high resolution.
Also the panorama feature of a camera may not help, because the picture of the object gets distorted and it is only possible, to use the panaorama either horizontally or vertically, but not in both directions.
In such cases the gigapan-system is an optimal solution. This is a small robot mount, with which the camera is turned horizontally around up to 360°, then turned a bit vertically and again turned around horizontally. All the quite small sections of the photo get stiched together by a software program, which is part of the offer.
The robot mount is fixed on a tripoid ( not part of the offer ) and the electronic camera is fastened in the robot mount.
Photos of that kind can be extremely large ( many gigabytes ) and it takes quite some time, to make them ( hours ), but it is very impressive, how many details are shown, which one can check by zooming in and out.
Have a look at the website of gigapanstems:

and have above all a look at those photos, like for instance a photo of Dubai:
