Using Nodal Ninja pano heads since 2008. Still using my unbreakable NN5 and my R10 with lot of satisfaction. Keep up the good work guys! - Guillaume G - FRANCEPANORAMA

Use my NN3 from 2007 and NN5 from 2010. 130 museums, 70 theatres, 30 churches, hundreds of another objects shooted with NN. I'm very satisfied! - Livepano

Hi, just received the NN6 and must say... I'M PRETTY IMPRESSED!!! what a step since NN5 !!! - FB Germany

5 Stars - The M2 Giga is an excellent pano head for heavy cameras and larger telephotos. I bought it to shoot cylindrical and flat panos using focal lengths beginning at 35mm. When you mount a lens around 100mm or more, the features of the M2 really begin to stand out, including that it’s rock solid. For instance, with a 200mm lens mounted on a full frame Canon, I elevate 7.5 degrees and rotate 5 degrees, moves that are positive and easy with this head. I think the M2 is faster and easier to use than a robotic head, but I’m assuming the photog in question already has pano experience. For example, to shoot a flat pano that covers, say 120 degrees FOV, looking at the viewfinder, I figure out what exposure I should use by moving to different parts of the scene to double check my exposure estimations (easy and fast with a manual head). I then move the camera to the left, right, top, and bottom to figure out what the limits are for this picture–moves that are also fast and direct with a manual head. After focusing, depending on the DOF of the lens that’s being used, I set the scale on the rotator to 0 for left-most rotator position (this is a great feature of the M2 head). That way I only have to remember one number at my far-right stop point. Depending on the pano head you’re currently using, you may have to convert the A and B distances for this head, since the scales don’t start at 0, as they do with the NN3 or NN5. Here’s a specific example that might help. On a NN5, the correct settings for a Canon 5DS with a 24-105 lens at 105 would be: A = 58, B = 66.5. The values for the same camera and lens on the M2 Giga would be A = 128, B = 96.5. For my setup, I add 70 to convert A from NN5 to M2 Giga and add 30 to the NN5 B distance for the M2 setting (I have the upper rail of the M2 starting at the 30mm mark on the scale). Here’s an example of a 1.5 gigapixel pano taken with this head, Canon 5DS, 200mm. The panorama will auto play for a bit over 3 minutes. Furthermore, this was shot on a cloudy winter day–the subject is the new arena where the Detroit Red Wings & Pistons play and downtown Detroit. I don’t work for Nodal Ninja and would not recommend anything if I didn’t think it was good, even if I had been foolish enough to buy it. http://bigdogpanos.com/html/mtroof013018B-10.html Here’s another auto play but taken with a 105mm: http://themasonic.com/evgal_arena.php - Dave M.

I have used a Nodal Ninja NN5 for the past 4 years. It has been a rock star for me all over the world. I have photographed 750,000 fans and countless panos without a hitch. This past weekend on a shoot in Las Vegas the upper rotator tension knob stripped and I had to improvise,(see photo). Contacted Bill Bailey over the weekend and talked to Rob at NN headquarters today. My trusty NN5 will be whole again by the end of this week. Great products and above & beyond service. Love these guys. - Greg V. USA

Bill, I used the NN5 for years and upgrade to M1L as I realized it was possible. I like the NN-products a lot. Your and also Mauros Service (Italy) is fantastic. Thats why it was a pleasure for me to send some suggestions for minor hardware updates (like marks at the upper M1L-rotator a.s.o.) That it is - for now ;o) Cheers - Norbert S Germany

I am in the BFA Photography program at the University of Nevada, Reno and have been documenting the Truckee Meadows through large panoramic images for the past two and a half years. My NN5 has been a workhorse. I decided to keep it as a backup for my latest purchase, the M1 (soon to become an M2). Rob rocks: Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi. - Rob O. USA

5/5: It is very well made, It is precise and the EZ leveler works perfectly. I actually recommend it. I'm using a Rebel XTi and Tokina 10 - 17 fisheye. I'm shooting 12 pictures instead of 8 because the vertical arm length doesn't allow to put the camera shooting the zenith. However, shooting two rounds of 6 pictures at 30 degrees I get perfect panoramas. I would considered the longer arms of the NN5.

My NN5 has worked flawlessly since the day I got it. Lots of parts, but it's a quality tool. I wish I had a few more ways to lock in a camera at specific points, something like click stops for the rail. It never fails that I get a measurement set up for a camera / lens / focal length (65.x for this rail, something else for another one) and then still feel like I'm off a little bit. I've recalibrated / lost my numbers more than I care to admit ... perhaps a place on NN5's website for me to store my own combo's so I always have them later. - Anonymous USA
