Jay,
I use the RRS Pano Elements package for single row pano work. It is more
than the Jasper item you show but has the major advantage of being modular
within the RRS and Arca Swiss compatible systems. I will ultimately add the
other parts to the bas package to make multi row stuff. You shouldn't run
into weight limits with the RRS pieces.

Since I already used the AS plates adding the Pano kit to my collection was
just a logical step for me. I also have used their flash brackets and just
added a modified Stroboframe Press T.
Have fun with it! Pano's can be addictive.

Subject: [OM] Panorama Heads
I am thinking of jumping into doing panorama (obligatory OM content this
would be with OM series with various lenses, fisheye to short telephoto).
In my treks through cyber space I've come across the Jasper Engineering
head.
http://www.stereoscopy.com/jasper/panorama.html
It looks to be of a sturdy design (and the other modestly priced heads seem
to have a lower weight limit (panosaurus, kingpano).
The Nodal Ninja http://www.nodalninja.com/ has a stated 4lb limit.
Anyone use any of these (or others in the $200 price range or less) and can
comment? I recognize that the Jasper has a more difficult time of doing
multi-row panos but I don't know if I will be doing a lot of that.
Jay
