Yes there was the 302 and 302Plus (for single row panos) then of late the 303QTVR which is configures for multi-row panos but they are all heavy beasts are that are virtually a concoction of other Manfrotto base components. I had a Kiwi+ head from Kaidan a few years back but it wasn't very sturdy and could only really be set up for a single lens/camera combo easily. I haven't looked about at what's available of late but there must be better stuff out there, if not it's a looming untapped market.
