BillboardNode defines a node that always orients towards the camera. However, it does not tilt up/down as the camera rises. This keep geometry from appearing to fall over if the camera rises or lowers. BillboardNode is useful to contain a single quad that has a image applied to it for lowest detail models. This quad, with the texture, will appear to be a full model at great distances, and save on rendering and memory. It is important to note that for AXIAL mode, the billboards orientation will always be up (0,1,0). This means that a "standard" ardor3d camera with up (0,1,0) is the only camera setting compatible with AXIAL mode.
