Support: Product Manuals & Videos: NN3 + MKIIVideos Changing the Detent Ring on the NN3 MKII Loosen the rotator lock knob, then loosen the detent plunger knob slightly. Next, unscrew and remove the upper knob which will have a built in hex key. Separate the rotator and expose the detent ring. Unscrew the set screw just enough to remove the detent ring and replace with the desired ring of choice. In this case, here we use the 45 degree ring. Each ring is reversible and has a different set of stops on each side. In this video we use the 45 degree ring. Ring marking “45° n=8“ translated: 1 click stop every 45 degrees of rotation, total number of stops around = 8. After changing the detent ring and putting back together the rotator, tighten the detent knob until you feel the ball bearing is touching the detent ring (small reaction force). Turn the rotator to see if there is wobbling at the detent stops. Tighten the knob a bit more if you note any wobble. Precision is max when the ball bearing is just touching the detent well. Tighten upper rotator knob enough for good tension and feel. Be careful NOT to over tighten.  How to Setup and Mount a DSLR on the NN3 MKII Setup up with DSLR. First mount your Nodal Ninja 3 MKII to the tripod neck or ball mount. Attach upper assembly to lower rail with upper rail facing inward. Make sure the camera plate (CP-1) is securely mounted and squared to the base of your camera. Mount your camera to the upper rail with hand grip of camera on the up side.  Mounting your camera in Landscape mode on the NN3 MKII When attaching your camera to the lower rail assembly, make sure you use the camera mounting plate (CP-1). Make sure the camera plate is securely mounted and squared to the base of your camera. You may also use an optional quick release system as well.  Changing the NN3 Rotator to NN3 MKII Rotator If you have an older style NN3 with the lock set screw in the upper knob of the lower rotator then it's time to upgrade. The enhanced MKII rotator is more precise and even easier to use. It gives your older NN3 new life and is a very inexpensive upgrade.
