Product Description

Our award winning Nodal Ninja 3 "MKII" continues to bring in rave reviews from around the world. This is a specially designed Spherical Panoramic Tripod Mount allowing a photographer to adjust a camera/lens exactly over its correct rotational axis called the entrance pupil (aka Nodal Point) and or No Parallax Point (NPP). This helps to eliminate parallax error inherent when shooting multiple images side by side. Without parallax a photographer can seamlessly stitch multiple photographs together forming a larger higher resolution composite image. This model is primarily designed for point and shoot cameras as well as some smaller DSLR's with smaller lenses like the Canon Digital Rebel or Nikon D200. If using larger cameras and/or larger lenses please consider our NN5 series pano heads. Being a Full spherical tripod QTVR "pano head" enables you to correctly shoot multiple images to form full 360 x 180 spherical images. These images are then published on the internet in the form of quicktime (QTVR) or flash. This allows the viewer to physically interact with the image by clicking inside and rotating it up and down and all around. You can also zoom in and out and also know has immersive imagery and or virtual reality (VR) photography. This is widely popular in presenting Real Estate to potential buyers through the use of Virtual Tours. VR Photography allows businesses to showcase their products and services, home sellers to showcase their homes, and travelers to share their experiences in a way conventional photography is unable to achieve. Even for the hobbyist this is a fun way to take images of all occasions. Panoramic photography also adds a unique and creative artistic flare to one's works as well. Some 360 VR applications include: Hotels, Restaurants, Home Owners, Travel Industry, Fitness Centers, Automotive Sales, Villa Rental Owners, Real Estate Agencies, Bed & Breakfast Inns, Architectural Applications, Giga-pixel images, mosaics, fine art,, and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best affordable panoramaic head on the market, September 21, 2008

This review is from: Nodal Ninja 3 MKII Full Spherical Multirow Panoramic QTVR Tripod Head (Electronics)

I am a professional virtual tour photographer. I have shot over 1,300 virtual tours. I have tried numerous panoramic heads, including Bogen, Kaiden, and custom fabricated models. The Nodal Ninja performs better than the Bogen and nearly identical to the $900 Kaiden. However, the Nodal Ninja is about 1/4 the size and weight, and breaks down small enough to fit into your pocket.

I highly recommend the Nodal Ninja 3. For the price you can't find a better panoramic tripod head. No quality heads are lighter or more compact. You can't go wrong with this product.

I got this package to be able to shoot full spherical panos. Its great! light weight, and the packaging is beautiful. Best of all, its price is unbeatable compared to other pano heads and the quality delivered. To top it off, outstanding customer service from Fanotec.

I use it with my Canon 40D + EFS 10-22 / Sigma 8 FE.
no issues at all.
