Powerful and fast for excellent results and breathtaking images. The program is fairly swift on my computer for the example above, taking approximately ten minutes to stitch together 18MP images. Of my three test shots, one, from Haleakala National Park at sunrise currently refuses to stitch right-side-up.
I am not sure why because the preview image, when the rows are all laid out before stitching, shows it right-side-up. To make the panoramas work, with their millions and millions of pixels, takes uploading them to gigapan.
Currently there is not another option with the software, other than uploading to gigapan. Yes, you could use other stitching software and save as you wish. The panorama photos, once uploaded, can also be viewed with Google Earth. An example of the photo being stitched above can be found here. Another example of the Napili Kai Beach Resort can be found here.
The unit is a lot of fun and can give some amazing results. If you look at both examples I linked to above, you will notice the photo at the resort can use a lot of work. As you can image, anything moving between shots stands a chance of being cut off or copied twice. Things like waves at the beach, people, animals or fast moving clouds. I was only able to use the Gigapan for a few days on this trip before returning it to BorrowLenses.

As for the software, I would recommend Autopano from Kolor, I use it for almost 2 years and it is a wonderful piece of software!
Finally some talk about motorized heads. Has anyone used Celestron Skywatcher Allview? It's a far cheaper option like the Merlin head.
Thank you for the review, I've been wanting to get this for. I just wish they would upgrade it in such a way so I don't need to be using the Merlin head for timelapses for planing and tilting. I know this is possible but why not now I also had problems with blurry pictures in the beginning but haven't seen those any more since I bought a more stable tripod but, of course, that's with a much smaller and lighter-weight camera than the one you used in the review; plus, I spent more on the new tripod than on the GigaPan.
I wish there were an option on the GigaPan for a delay before taking each shot to give the camera time to settle. As a work-around, you can increase the per-shot time and use a self-timer on the camera 2 seconds on the RX, so it greatly increases the time needed to take all the shots. I have to agree on the software. It's OK when it works but without a way to control it manually, it is very limiting.
I tested many stitching tools and found Autopano Giga to be the most capable with the pre-aligned shots from the GigaPan but also one of the most expensive options. If the device wobbles at the moment of exposure - caused by wind, a passing truck, etc.
Neither time delay or stable tripod will make a difference then. Carsten, first of all thank you for the review - with regards to the wobbly tendencies of the EPIC Pro, is it not possible to have it take multiple shots in each "location"; not bracketing but shots with same exposure?
I believe I read that somewhere; I do know that it may result in extra post processing effort to remove the doublets.
My own EPIC Pro is making its way through customs clearance here in Japan, so I am looking forward to testing it next weekend - weather permitting :o. Not sure if you can repeat the same exposure at the same location during one run will check the manual but you can save and repeat panos which has basically the same effect. HDR panos would use bracketing at each position, so taking a burst at each position might help overcome short-duration wobbles.
I would still prefer my RRS omni pivot package as it is designed to be future-proof, maintenance-free. Actually the pre delay feature before each shot is available "pre trigger delay", you will find it in the extended menu, I am using it since day one and have Zero issues with blurred images.
This is a pathetic review, the reviewer admits they don't shoot panos which the product is all about. And yet DP Review still publishes this dribble? Please let me review a product I don't own and have never used, same as what you've just read pretty much.
And by the way, the Giga Pan Pro along with the rest of the heads is worth what you pay for here - not much. If you want to shoot quality pano's in close foreground to background locations you've got to step up and do the homework to get geat results.
