Testimonials

Nick - you have done it even better! I had the SPH-1 and NN3 is a vast improvement. I wish your company great success. Bill is a great community and I owe him thanks for answering all my questions and getting this out to me so quickly. - Charles G. Maine (D80 with 10.5mm Nikkor)

OKAY for $200 and in seeing what else it out there it's a no brainer. Your 30 day refund option allowed me to see for myself. I'm impressed and keeping it! - Tiki M. Hawaii USA

Perfect! - Branden. R. Ireland

Nick, you have a designed a product that suits my needs perfectly! I travel allot and always on the go, being single is tough :-). I don't do panoramas for a living but probably take more panoramas that many pros. It's a fun and a very exciting aspect of photography. The fact I can hike out into the desert or climb some hills and easily tuck this is bag is what sold me. The build quality, detents, and handy little case (snug fit) only adds it it's lure. Bill is tops! Give him a raise, opps, maybe not or you would have to raise the price :-). All kidding aside I hope you add this testimonial to your page as your panorama head is an excellent value for it's price. - Mike H. Flagstaff Arizona (Nikon D70s with 17 - 55mm)

Hi Bill, Just got the product photography and the first test done for the Nodal Ninja... incredible product so far. It's much smaller than I thought... highly portable and incredibly accurate. Thanks so much again! - Josh K. USA

...here are some words from a satisfied customer. I am the house photographer for a large restored very ornate 1920's era movie house. I have been making large panoramas of the interior, for years with great difficulty. Upon getting the Nodal Ninja, I immediately started a new panorama project for the theater. The ease of use is outstanding. I wish I had this wonderful tool years ago. Also thank you Bill for the wonderful communications, I highly recommend your product and of course, you personally. - Lou B. USA (Canon 5 D with 16 - 35mm)

Hello Bill, This was quick...got the missing knob today...now I will learn how to use the equipment. I will get back to you when I know more. This is exciting! Thanks for all your trouble. - Jan B. Sweden

Works with a 5D+ shaved Tokina10-17/Sig 15/Nik 10,5 and more, even without mirror up. What can I say more ........ Have Fun - Paul K. Iceland

I just thought I would drop in a note about Nodal Ninja. Compared to other pano heads, it's smaller, lighter and significantly less money. I was going to build anothr head, this time for my D200, but splurged on the NN3...I'm impressed. I can't say it's better than other pano heads because I haven't used other heads. But it's fast and easy and very compact for taking along with you.....I'm using it with the D200 and the 18-200 lens at 18. You have to pull it all the way back on the top rail to get the nodal point, but it works great and helps speed panorama factory along to make QTVR/Panoramas. I find at 18 degrees, 10 shots works perfectly for a full QTVR. With a adaptor, you can shoot horizontal, landscape mode panoramas. I love this thing! I use Panorama Factory but also have tried a number of other programs like Hugin for the MAC, Photovista etc. The NN3 is mounted on a Manfrotto Ball Head (488rcd) on a 3021Pro Manfrotto Tripod. - reader Discussion Forums @ Nikonians

Nice job with the tutorials, the author has done you well. - Martin N. London, Ontario Canada (Nikon D200 10.5mm Nikkor)

I have never used a pano head before and i am thrilled at the results - Lou B. USA (Canon 5 D with the canon 16 - 35 L lens)

My new NN3 arrived yesterday. I have been quite impressed with it so far, using a 20D+Sigma 8mm combination. No problems setting it up and it looks very smart and neat. - John H. England

While the lighter weight of the NN3 is attractive, given transatlantic travels, I find the price of the discontinued SPH-2sd more so, in light of my relative inexperience in panos. I also like the fact that your product is partially pre-assembled, that it is well tooled (from reports on dpreview) and that it comes in a case. - Sydney H. Toronto Canada

“First Panorama with Nodal Ninja 3” I have to give two thumbs up to Nodal Ninja 3 at this time. I got the full kit which included the T-Adapter so I could do landscape panoramas in addition to a full spherical. It seemed like I figured out the Entrance Pupil for my Tamron 17-50 so I went out to San Diego Bay to try it out. What a piece of cake! I set my D70 to Aperture mode and set my focus to Manual after setting the Hyper focal distance. All I needed to do at that point was push the shutter, rotate 30 degrees and repeat. I didn't need to look through the viewfinder or anything else. It took about 15 seconds to shoot and I was done. - rklingman Discussion Forums @ Nikonians

Your prompt replies and gracious handling of my request are outstanding examples of above average customer service. I look forward to using your products and thanks for making the purchase experience truly outstanding. Best wishes, - Alan H. Canada

I just got NodalNinja this week...works for Olympus E300...I have to say ... NodalNinja ROCKS~!!!....... - Realviz Forum.

I received the Nodal Ninja in time so I took the NN with me on vacation. (the perfect opportunity to try out the NN) It works great! Really worth the wait!! I'm still a beginner in photography, so I have to practice a lot, but the NN is really a must have! Especially for 360° photos. - Ester D. Netherlands (Panasonic FX 01 )

“Review of the Nodal Ninja" Early thoughts on the Nodal Ninja I've recently acquired. The slings and arrows of life have kept me too busy to do anything with my Nodal Ninja until now; I've finally "calibrated" one of my lenses. Well thought out, well engineered, and very well made, and reasonably priced. Designed to be used with the camera vertical....Based on the pictures done while finding the "nodal" point of my 18-70mm at 18mm, (78mm set back on the Nodal Ninja) I think it will do just fine. - Bron Discussion Forums @ Nikonians

Hi, I received the extra T-Adapter a couple of days ago, and it works great with both the Raynox and the Olympus WCON-07C :) - Bjrn N. Norway

Really happy with my Nodal Ninja 3 - thank you. - Sim R. Britain (Canon 300D and peleng)

Thanks again Bill. Your service is as excellent as before. Kind regards - Simon N. UK (Canon 20D and a borrowed Sigma 12 - 24m)

I got my Ninja today and it seems quite sturdy and handy for travelling used to carry (deleted) Best - Kimmo T. Finland (Nikon D80 with Nikon 10.5mm)

Thanks Bill! Your response has really been above and beyond. You can be sure NN will get my recommendation whenever the opportunity arises. - Michael K. USA

I received my Nodal Ninja 3 yesterday and although I have only shot one panoramic with it so far it looks as if it is a fantastic product. Thank you so much with your support. - Patrick B. Tasmania, Australia
