Testimonials

Hi. I just bought the NN3 last week. It was ordered from Rosauro (Canadian Reseller) and the experience was first rate. I've already shot many dozens of panos with it and I like it very much....Before closing this message, I wish to once again assert that I am a happy user..... If you do not change a thing about your detent system or your product, I will continue to use, enjoy, and recommend it. I can do what I want to do with it by putting in the plate with only two detents and using the smooth areas, however, when you're shooting at sunset and trying to take the pano as quickly as possible because of the rapidly changing light conditions, the detents are a God send. A very happy user. - Tom B Canada (Pentax K100D, DA 50-200, DA 40L, DA 16 - 45)

Bill, many thanks for your incredible service and the pre sales assistance. I ordered my NN3 last Tuesday and it arrived here yesterday (Monday), I should also thank the US and Australian postal services. I assembled the NN3 in less than a minute and love the rigidity, look and feel of it. - Mike C. Australia (Pentax *istD & K10D Sigma 15 - 30, 24 to70, 70 to 200)

Hi Folks, I bought one of the NN3 pano heads after reading the comments on these forums and I have been well impressed with it since. A well constructed piece of equipment an well priced. Unfortunately, I managed to damage my NN3 and from that experience I am even more of a fan of the NN3 as I found that their customer service is second to none. I contacted Fanotec for advice after damaging the NN3 and I was bowled over by the quick response and by a quick replacement part shipped over from the states. Often I read customer reviews on web sites and seldom believe the comments. I have to say though, I now believe all I read about Fanotec and the Nodal Ninja. If anyone is considering buying a panohead, consider the NN3. To my mind, you really cant go wrong with the NN3. - Ped, Panoguide Forums

The Nodal Ninja arrived safely and I have been very impressed by its construction and neat way it can been put together and then packed away back into such a small pouch. This makes it very handy and a prefect accessory to always carry in a camera bag. Regards, - Karl H. UK

Just received my Nodal Ninja 3 the other day, just wanted to let you know I appreciate the fast delivery and the exceptional build quality of your product. Your product obviously reflects your attention to detail and the product performs flawlessly! - Dan C. USA (Nikon D200 18 - 70, 50mm)

The Nodal Ninja has scored very very well. They only telled positive things about it. The NodalNinja is very well and strong build. Even in stormy weather it stayed stable on the stand. Keep on the good quality. Greetings and kind regards, - Patrick from the Netherlands (Canon EOS 350D with 18/55mm Kit lens)

I am really enjoying its compactness and light weight...Thanks - Dave S. Canada (Nikon D70 Tamron 14mm 2.8)

Hello Bill,I received the Nodal Ninja 2-Sph from you off your Ebay store. This thing is a work of art! The very first ever panorama I shot was a 360 QTVR of my back yard, with just one setup, 15 images @ 24 degree plate. 100% perfect! - Gerald W. USA (Canon S2 - IS)

NN3 package arrived in Melbourne on Friday 8 June (only 4-5 days later). Very quick! I am very impressed with the quality and high standard of manufacture in the NN3. I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun using it. Thanks again. - Ken H. Australia

Just so you'll know. I found your product on the "FromParis.com" website. It's a great pan head and I want to thank you for your prompt service. I actually received it faster than expected… - Mike H. USA

Dear Mr. Bill Bailey, MANY MANY THANKS for considering me as a 'SPECIAL CASE' and so nice of you. Till time, I was manage with my hand made pano head with lots of unnecessary editing efforts for stitching errors and now after getting NN3, I hope I will do much much batter for my VR business. All credit pass on to Mr. Bill - NN3. Many thanks for proving camera set up to start using NN3 as soon as its in my hand. (I have Nikon D50 + 10.5 Nikkon Fisheye Lens and its camera set up for using NN3 is with me in advance from your website. User Manual also downloaded & printed and found very useful. Once again Many Thanks Mr. Bill Bailey. Best regards, - Mukesh V. India

I want to reiterate that I really like your pano-head. It is the only one I am willing to travel with (the (deleted) was a pain, and the (deleted) is a monster). I totally agree that your panohead is an engineering compromise (every head is a compromise). But well used and a properly calibrated lens, I can make panos as good as with any other head. - Daniel G. Canada

Bill, Thanks a lot for the info, that worked a treat. As a normal (deleted) user I am very impressed by the way with the Nodal Ninja.. All the best, - Andy H. UK

Thanks so much Bill. If you want to quote any of my repeated expressions of gratitude on your website please do so, you have helped beyond the call. Very best wishes, Chris. L UK

It was a quiet night on Mawson Station. Many people stayed up until the early hours of the morning watching a very spectacular aurora display over the station. Max temp:-4.0Min temp:-13.2 Max wind gust: SSE 57knots. This is a beautiful place for photography. I use a Nikon D200 with Nikon 17-55mm and 10.5mm lenses, this being mounted on my Nodal Ninja atop a Manfrotto Tripod 3001BN with the Manfrotto 3265 Vertcial Hand Grip. Because of NN's all metal construction it performs quite well in under such extreme conditions. Also being easy to setup and take down (one knob) makes it a valuable addition to my gear. A great product! Best Regards from the bottom of the world. - Megan D. Mawson Station Antarctica

I've dealt with many MANY companies and have operated a couple myself. The product you represent is everything you say and more. The support is the best I have experienced from any company and worthy of recognition. I look forward to future products - rest assured you have a loyal customer. - Shane R. Ireland (D200 Nikkor 10.5mm fisheye)

Mr. Bailey,... I have tried NN3 and my first impressions are very positive. This is an excellent product. I look forward to doing more business with you in the future. Thanks again, - Jack G. USA

Bill, like to thank you again for the efforts and speed and professionalism with which you operated. I have tested and made several Pano pics and am very pleased with the NN3. - Jim D. Germany

360rage.com - Dennis A. said on December 23, 2006: Rating 10 and reviewed: This is perfect example of value for dollar spent. After my camera fell off a lesser expensive model I need something a bit more reliable. Nodal Ninja fit the bill perfectly. I do Real Estate Virtual Tours and use the head exclusively. Its lightweight, easy to setup and use and very dependable. I highly recommend this head. DA

360rage.com - @lphons said on January 26, 2007: Rating 9 Value for money 10, and reviewed: Good value for money. I use the NN3 since december 2006 and its a pitty I didnt get it earlier. Quick setup. I use it with my Canon 30D and 5D. Not suitable for the high end DSLR (like Canon Mark II a.o) Great service from dealer.

360rage.com - David L. said on March 21, 2007: Rating 9 and reviewed: RE: Nodal Ninja version#3 Excellent value for the money - no doubt the best in the market for this price range. I own (deleted) and sorry I didnt learn of Nodal Ninja before I bought it. All the same features at hundreds less. I say YES to buying Ninja Ninja if you plan on doing any type of panoramas.

360rage.com - Richard Chamberlain said on March 30, 2007: Rating 9 and reviewed: I have the Nodal Ninja SPH - 2L and have been very happy with the purchase. First rate support for a first rate product. No need to spend hundreds more when the Nodal Ninja will do all you need! Awesome product!

360rage.com - Charles Hendrick said on August 8, 2007: Rating 10 and reviewed: NN3 is perfect for me. Its lightweight and supports my D200 perfectly. Bill has been super quick and goes out his way to answer my questions. There is no other product that comes close to the value for dollar spent. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
