My Canon mount Tamron 20-40 is still amongst the missing. When
shooting the sale photos for my house I really missed it since my E-M5
doesn't go wider than 12(24)mm. But I'm very reluctant to spend $699
for the mZuiko 9-18mm lens. I rarely use such a wide angle. If I'm
shooting landscape and need a wider angle I shoot panos at 12mm.
That's easy with distant subjects but tough for shooting inside a
room. An inexpensive solution is a pano head such as the Panosaurus
<http://gregwired.com/pano/Pano.htm>. However the Panosuarus
description makes clear <http://gregwired.com/pano/Pano.htm> that it
does not support off-center tripod mounts on the camera.
So what solutions are available to solve the off-center mount of my
E-M5 or (possible) E-M1?

If you have the official battery grip, it puts a tripod socket
on-center. However, I'm going to have a machinist friend of mine mill
an adapter for my E-M5 when I want to use it on the Panosaurus without a
grip. I discovered the issue after I already bought the Pano.
