What would you need a Linhof 3D Micro Geared Leveling Pan for?

Before anyone says it... I know: "if I need to ask, I don't need it", but we are talking a $1800 tripod head?! She looks like a engineering beauty, but just curious what this head does to warrant the price tag?

Here is a link to it: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/762761-RE...ro_Leveling_Pan.html

Leveling pan? Fried chicken. :banana:
More likely, panorama shots to get the alignment perfect (maybe even 360s)

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

The Linhof cameras are large format panoramas I think; on occasion I've seen one used in KEH's catalog.
