NEW NODAL NINJA 3
PANORAMIC TRIPOD HEAD
“what’s in your bag?”

The lightest smallest panoramic tripod head on the market today.
And now Nodal Ninja 3 (NN3) got even lighter and stronger with more added features.
Nodal Ninja is a specially designed spherical tripod head allowing the photographer to adjust a camera/lens “entrance pupil” 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.

Small and Compact
Folded only 7”x2”x2”
(178mm x 50mm x 50mm)
Weight 475 grams
Compact QTVR Head
Produce Mulit Row Panoramas

Depending on the camera and lens NN3 can do full rotation on the horizontal axis as well and vertical axis allowing for full 360x180 degree sphercial panoramas.
