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.

Best price for a Pano QTVR head you will find. Great customer service. I just upgraded to the NN5 (it supports SLR cameras with a battery grip.

GREAT PRODUCTS!!!

This fully adjustable tripod head comes in a padded case and is quick to assemble. It allows for steady, evenly spaced photos at 15 or 30 degree stops in barrel or spherical panoramas. It saves time by insuring the pictures are consistently overlapped and aligned for stitching into a panorama. This is a solid mount, but because of the three arms it does allow a small amount of movement if you put pressure on the camera so a remote wired shutter release is recommended.

Good product but has to many parts to assemble. On the other hand you have to be able to brake it down if you want to keep it small. In order to secure the camera plate to the camera you need a screwdriver. It would be nice to have some kind of a quick release system. Also the camera plate has no error proof way to locate. If you are not paying attention you may have it installed crocked.

Customer support is good and you can find a great community ready to help you on the Internet.

As for the price, I still believe that is overpriced but relative to what other options you have this is the best.
