Hi Ron,

these are stunning pictures and a really great handling of light. Kudos.
Yes, a full frame sensor is almost mandatory if you want to capture a complete
sphere handheld from a monopod in such demanding situations.

Of course one could try to find workarounds but at the cost of ease of handling.

Go for some climbing panos on the arches.

Regards
Jürgen
