The much anticpared MECHA Motorised Rotator/Controllers are now available!
The first model is the Mecha E1 which is a great addition to your Nodal Ninja panorama head allowing controlled rotation and shutter activation, including bracketed shots for 'HDR' panos.

For a streamlined workflow with reliable results time after time, the MECHA E1 is a great bit of kit, at Red Door we are currently running a Mecha on test with a Nodal Ninja Unltimate R20 ring mount head, Sigma 8mm lens on a crop frame Canon DSLR - both at eye level and for great shots on a Nodal Ninja Pole system - we love it!

Nodal Ninja MECHA demo video:

The Nodal Ninja 'MECHA E1' motorised rotator head will support up to 4.4bs (2kg), including panohead. For use with Nodal Ninja NN3 MKII, NN3 MK3, R1, R10, R20, RS1, (heads sold separately). Mecha is lightweight, quiet and power efficient. Together with the Single Axis Controller (F9910), it automates the panning axis of Nodal Ninja R1/10/20 series as well as the Nodal Ninja 3 MKII and MK3 and the RS1.

The Mecha E1 is NOT recommended for larger Nodal Ninjas (NN6 and M Series) at this time (stronger Mecha Rotators to accommodate greater weights are in development). Together with a "dual axis" controller (also in development), two E1 rotators can be added to motorize Nodal Ninja MK3 pan and tilt axes for multi-row application.

Firmware update can be done over the air once the controller is connected to the internet. It can also be updated via USB cable.
