Nodal Ninja Panoramic Tripod Head

NEW NODAL NINJA 3 MKII
PANORAMIC TRIPOD HEAD

“what’s in your bag?”

The lightest smallest panoramic tripod head on the market today.
Nodal Ninja is a low cost solution for both amateurs and professionals alike that seek precision, portability, reliability as well as top notch support.
Nodal Ninja is a specially designed spherical tripod head allowing the photographer to adjust a camera/lens “entrance pupil” (aka nodal point) exactly over its correct rotational axis. 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. Perfect for real estate photography, virtual reality tours and much more.
