Trevor,

Check out my web pages for a rotating panoramic camera that will work
anywhere.  Generally rotating cameras are shot from a steady level platform.
Not because they have to but because people are not used to curvey horizons
in pictures. Check out the Larscan camera for a home brew 120 camera - links
to IAPP and others on my pages.
