They call is the EPIC pro for your DSLR its a fitting that produces effortlessly a gigapixel panorama.
It then works in with GigaPan Stich to combine 100's of photos in to a single panna and then uploads to GigPan.com.

How does it work?? From the gigapansystems.com website:
"Simply attach your camera to it, then the EPIC directs you through the steps to capture a gigapixel image. You then set the upper left and lower right corners of your panorama and the EPIC works out how many photos your camera will need to take, hundreds or even thousands, and automatically organizes them into the correct rows and columns needed to capture your panorama. The robotic arm clicks away, capturing amazing detail in a short amount of time."
