The lightest smallest panoramic tripod head on the market today.
And now Nodal Ninja NN3 MK II is even lighter and stronger with more added features.
The Nodal Ninja 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.
What's in the box?

WHAT'S NEW WITH THE MARK II MODEL?:
NN3 MKII has a newly designed lower rotator. There is a bearing inside the tightening knob which allows for smoother rotation and prevents loosening. Adjusting tension is much easier as you no longer have the centre lock screw to worry about.
NEW NN3 MKII rotator - as supplied with the NN3 MK II
NN3 MKII also has rotator markings with the new NN logo similar to that you see on the NN5 model.
The NEW MKII model uses a slightly different style detent ring which is not interchangeable with original NN3.

Prior to purchase of equipment we strongly recommend that you confirm the camera(s) and Lens(es) you wish to use will fit the specification of your chosen VR head:
NODAL NINJA NN3 MK II
MAXIMUM MEASUREMENT A = 70mm
MAXIMUM MEASUREMENT B = 107mm
( Adding T adapter on any of the Nodal Ninja Heads increases the compatible 'B' measurement by up to 22mm )
NOTE: using a " T adapter " or mounting certain DSLR cameras at over 125mm on the top rail may mean that rotating the camera directly 'upwards' for a zenith shot may not be possible if your camera body snags the bottom rail - the solution being to purchase the larger NN5 model VR Head.
Please note that the A and B measurements shown above are shown as a simple check to ensure that the physical dimensions of your camera do not exceed the settings and clearances of this model of panorama head, i.e. to assist in answering the question "will my camera fit?"
Exact settings for how to position your camera on the panorama head can be found either by using our 'nodal point set up video' or the chart provided by the manufacturers.
If your camera and lens is LARGER than the dimensions shown, DON'T PANIC - the Nodal Ninja NN5 models accept much larger camera and lens combinations!
