Hi Allen,

you should find no problem at all with stitching as long as your source images are taken at the same time, have a good overlap (lots of it really) and it really helps if you use a tripod.

The scenery panorama shows the image breaks very clearly which is a pity but I suspect it is not a disaster given that the source files may have been relatively low resolution.  It looks a little as if the clouds moved along between shots.

The house terrace ....  hmmm  ....   I think this was a very difficult subject to make as a stitched image, you were really not able to get far enough away from the subject to give proper depth of field.  The solution would be to use a different lens ....  

You suggest  that you are going to make a jig to hold both frame and camera.  Well ...  interesting idea.  I think you may find it easier to make a jig to hold the frame and buy a tripod though .... You also used the word "lightweight" ...  well to me that is not a good word.  Solid (and often heavy) go together in the context of this type of photography from my perspective ...  but each person has his own approach and I have not issue with that.
