Thanks, Boris. Writing a detailed tutorial is possible, if it hadn't been done already. In short: You would need to get the following stuff - Nodal Ninja 5 pano head - rotator - leveling device - nadir adapter www.nodalninja.com - good tripod with a short center column - ptgui www.ptgui.com - pano2vr www.pano2vr.com - fisheye lens like the DA10-17 - your favorite Pentax DSLR
The websites above have all the info you need, combining it all is the challenge. I suggest you start with the software and a regular tripod and tripod head to capture a panorama outside, even handheld is possible. Only with objects close to the camera like inside buildings and bad light, a pano head is necessary. The difficult part is capturing the floor (nadir) and removing the tripod.
