The NEW Nodal Ninja 3 MkII is a fantastic panohead and the improvements to the rotator and detents over the NN3 is significant. - Smooth, Bathhurst Australia

I received my NN3 Mk2 today and having shot a few interior test shots I must say that this head is great. Some may consider this a downgrade from the likes of othr more expensive options but I beg to differ. Previously I used a (deleted and the results were good a best. I would have to retune the head constantly and even configured perfectly still found the head to sag under the camera weight. For a head that weights less than a quarter of the (deleted, the Nodal Ninja its far superior. It can be locked by plates to keep its setup and does not sag in the slightest. PTgui stitched a 6+2 shot sphere flawlessly with no need to fiddle with control points - that's what I want - a head that I can take time to produce great shots and not have to worry about alignment errors occurring that can ruin a pano. I would recommend this head to anyone intreated in starting panoramic photography for its simple setup, and further endorse it for professionals because its lightweight, flexible and outperforms heads 2x or more its price. See the results of a super quick test capture thrown into PTGUI via my attachment image - please don't mind the watermark - now i know this head is perfect I will be moving to PTgui from my previous (more expensive) stitching application. The shot is just a simple 6 row fullframe fisheye in a cofined space to really push the alignment accuracy - results perfect. - Patrick C. Ireland (Nikon D70 10.5mm DX)

Studying the detailed photographs on your Web pages gave me a fair idea of what the Nodal Ninja 3 looks like, but I was truly surprised and greatly impressed when I finally had one in my own hands to examine. My late father-in-law was a skilled engineer who produced, amongst other things, precision medical equipment. Seeing his work gave me some appreciation of the challenges involved in making exactly calibrated tools. How well you have succeeded in meeting the manufacturing demands of a spherical panoramic tripod head! The build quality is impressive and adds to my confidence that I shall enjoy many years of useful and rewarding service from this photographic tool. While the essence of the design brief for a panoramic head is quite straightforward I recognize that implementing all the consequential details is not. In this you have succeeded marvelously and in particular I note with approval that the Nodal Ninja 3 is a mature product incorporating many refinements, no doubt based on years of experience and problem-solving. Also to be applauded is the reasonable pricing of all the items in your catalogue. I wish you continued and growing success in your business. Creative photographers need dedicated, skilled and sympathetic technicians like you to support what we're trying to achieve with our art. I have completed a number of basic experiments using the Nodal Ninja 3 and the results have been all that I could have wished for at this stage. The head is quick and easy to assemble, thanks in particular to the rail stops, and the E-Z-Leveler simplifies tremendously the sometimes very fiddly task of getting the camera exactly horizontal. With kind regards and best wishes, - Graham S. Adelaide, South Australia ( Sony DSC-F828 CZ VS T 7.1 - 51mm)

Took my first pano today with the D300 and NN3II. The pano looks great… - Simon S, Australia

All in all, I am extremely pleased with the NN3. I think it is the most appropriate tool for my needs and it does everthing I require of it. If I were to require another pano head, I would certainly get another NN3 and I would certainly get it from Rosauro. Happy Nodal Ninja 3 user, - Tom B. Canada

I use my Nodal Ninja all the time in my professional resort photography and especially when out in the field. I thought about the new Nodal Ninja 5 for my Canon 5D but decided to stay with the smaller lighter version. Maybe I'll get the bigger one later. - Richard C. New Caladonia

Dear Nodal ninja, thanks for creating & re-design such a good gear. - C. Chia Maylasia

I Use the NN3 kit for use with my D200 and 10.5mm and had to take the time to say it works perfectly! A well designed product. Thank you - Brian. H Ireland

I really appreciate Nodal Ninja's commitment to its customers. It's a pleasure doing business with you! Cheers, - Jim C. Atlanta, GA

Hi Bill, The NN5L rings arrived today - thanks they will be very useful, and they are such beautiful things, just as objects, aren't they. My NN5L arrived last Friday along with the T-30 adapter I ordered from red Door VR. The 'fit, feel and finish' are excellent and it has a very 'pro' appearance. My initial efforts with my D40+10.5 fisheye and my small P5100+WC-E68+T-30 (3 rows of 12 around for 360x180) have been very pleasing. I'm glad I chose the NN5L rather than the NN3 - which would have been quite 'good enough' for either of the cameras - because I actually like it being bigger - I'm not planning to hike with it - and the 'excess length' on the arms provides nice 'handles' with which to move it around. - Andrew S. UK

So far, I really like what I see. This NN5 is much stronger than my previous QTVR head. I was able to do a quick and dirty pano almost right away and it should work well. I am impressed by it. Look for a Blog post about it on my site soon. - Joe L. St Simons Island, Georgia USA

Hi Bill, Thanks so much for your help today! I've read on the web that you guys have GREAT support, and they weren't kidding!I should be good to go now! - Gary D. USA

Excellent product! Why I spent a thousand dollars on a (deleted) I'll never know. Sure it's a quality head but certainly does not justify the cost for my purposes. This is testament to the fact that you need to shop around before you buy. In my case I only had to ask once. I'll sell my (deleted) and take the money saved (or lost) to buy a lens. Thank you Nodal Ninja - you rock! - Chuck A. Texas USA (Nikon D200 w/10.5mm lens)

Its a great product, your efforts are much appreciated and are benefiting many people. regards - Phil, Australia

Love my NN5 by the way, feels very well machined and nice positive clicks. - Henley B UK

Thank you for your exceptionally prompt service - the package arrived on 29 Feb in perfect condition. Regards - Tony H. Australia

Hi, I wanted to thank you for getting this out so quickly. (and for making such a cool product!) It got here in plenty of time for me to tinker before the shoot and it really was the perfect tool. I have even had a chance to do some creative work of my own too... - Bill P. USA

I received the NN3 early this week and am anxious to use on my camera when I receive the new tripod. I do want to commend you on the excellent quality of construction. - Tom M. USA (Canon Digital Rebel )

Fantastic customer service from across the work, im so impressed, i've already recommended you to other photog's here in sydney. Cheers - Mark K. NSW Australia

NN5L is what I have been looking for. It works well with my D3 using the 70-200 2.8 VR lens. I use this lens for doing mosiacs so sturdyness is important. Nick you did well on this. Regards - Alfred B. Hamburg Germany

I recently purchased a NN5L (2/23/08), In past I've used a (deleted) Pano Head and a (deleted). Your NN5L is very well built, a solid, well thought-out piece of equipment, Nice JOB - Gregory M. NY (Canon 40D)

Hi All, I recently purchased the NN3 from Rosauro (Candian Reseller) - by the way... he is a true professional with exceptional service. Thanks Rosauro! - Tom V. Canada (Canon 400 Xti with a Peleng 8mm)

Well well well this NN5L a piece of quality work. Nick did well in the design and development of this model (as in previous models). Many thanks and keep up the great work! - Steve W. California (Canon MKII)
