Nodal Ninja NN5 - panorama shooting sequence
     Nodal Ninja NN5L 'LITE' Model - NN5L PANORAMIC VR TRIPOD HEAD KIT
From Red Door VR Limited - United Kingdom
Nodal Ninja NN5L Professional Lightweight VR head for single, multi-row and fish eye panoramas, larger and longer than the NN3 model, allowing use with larger cameras such as the Canon 1DS etc. even with longer lenses such as the 17-40mm and 70-200mm

NN5L (Lite) Features include:
* Longer arms than the NN3 model (about 40mm longer than NN3). This helps to accommodate larger cameras like the Nikon D3 or Canon MK II, MK III, and cameras with battery packs. Larger lenses like 17-40mm or 70-200mm F2.8 can also easily be accommodated .
*Upper arm rotator.
* NN5 LITE: Supports Camera/Lens combinations up to 5-7kgs.
* Very precise detent mechanism.
* As small as 10 degree stops in lower arm rotator are possible. Detent rings can be disabled on the fly without any tool.
* More precise rotator base with locking function.
* Angular increment of 2.5 degree in the rotators' markings, good for making high resolution mosaics.
* 4 rail stops for "remembering" camera and lens settings.

The Nodal Ninja NN5L is a specially designed spherical tripod head allowing the photographer to adjust a camera/lens “entrance pupil” [nodal point] exactly over its correct rotational axis. This helps to eliminate parallax error inherent when shooting multiple images side by side.

Without parallax errors a photographer can seamlessly stitch multiple photographs together forming a larger higher resolution composite image.
