Old readers may remember my article and my endeavor to Create Multi Row Panorama Head Ver. II back in November of 2011. Nonetheless, this was already an improvement of an earlier version introduced one year earlier in November 2010. At that time there were very few modular and Arca-Swiss compatible multi-row Panoramic heads around.
Plus the ones that existed were quite expensive, so there was room for a modular solution that would be easy to transform into some other device, using the same rails.
Many photographers, pros and amateurs alike, have trusted this above all honest solution through the years. In the meantime some minor changes have been introduced, improving the rails, addition of bubble levels, dual laser engraving, new clamps as evolved and so on.
The original vertical rail used was Hejnar G10-80, based on a quite standard multipurpose rail with few mods to be able to accept the G-103 90 degree block and a Panoramic clamp or rotator with clamp on top with the ability of up-down adjustment at will.
However, this year, after serious thought Chris Hejnar has decided to produce a dedicated rail for the vertical rail structure, the Hejnar Photo V1-80.

This is a special provision to accommodate the alignment screws usually found at the bottom of any panoramic clamp or indexed rotator.

Full Panoramic Head Structure
Below is illustrated the fully assembled Multi Row Panorama Head based on the SCV Panorama Package 2018 with the addition of two extra Panning Clamps, one for the vertical tilting and one for the Horizontal panning.
Full details and step by step illustration may be found in the original articles Create a Multi Row Panorama Head Ver. II and Using Multi Row Panorama Head Ver.II which I would suggest to give a read.

Further, the choice of Panoramic clamps or Panoramic Indexed Rotators is up to the end user. My initial suggestion were the Benro PC-0 and PC-1 Panorama clamps.
Nevertheless, after so many years, there are many significant Panoramic clamps or Indexed Rotators introduced, from which you can choose from. Please check my other relevant articles at the bottom. For example, nowadays you may find the innovative low profile Sunwayfoto IRC-64 or a combo of DDP-64Si + DDY-64i Indexed Rotator with Discal clamp at an equal price to the simple Benros.
The Rail Package
The updated SCV Panorama Package 2018 contains all required rails, clamps and accessories less the Panoramic Clamps or Indexed Rotators.
These are from right, a Hejnar G13-80 horizontal rail, an E30-80 base with F61b QR Clamp 8" nodal slide, the new V1-80 Vertical rail with G103 block and F69 QR clamp, two Inde Stop Bars and all necessary sizes of Allen Hex keys for the kit screws.
All components come pre-assembled with safety stop screws pre-installed accordingly, so the end users just need to add the Panning Clamps or Indexed Rotators of their choice.
