Finely crafted and versatile - a truly excellent head
This head's workmanship is about as good as it gets but, more importantly, it was designed to facilitate an efficient workflow for what is often a complicated process. There are less expensive options for similar heads, some which are quite well made, but this head's attention to operational detail sets it apart. It was clearly designed to actually shoot multi-shot images, rather than just sitting impressively atop a tripod. There are more expens... Show More

Dissapointing
I read such positive reviews of Nodal Ninja that I decided to make a purchase. And I decided to get their top-of-the line model. I feel I made a mistake with this purchase and, if given another chance, I would by a different model. 1. Mine came with a bag filled with all kinds of nuts, screws and washers. Directions were included describing how to assemble the whole thing. But the directions referenced specific kinds of nuts and screws, but didn'... Show More

Best Panoramic Kit Available!!
I use this with the Nikon D800E and the Nikon 14-24mm F2.8 G lens. I also have the MB-D12 Battery Grip. This is one of Nodal Ninja's top of the line Pano kits and is a must if you are shooting with large lens. The kit does come with a lot of spare parts, but I consider this a good thing. If you follow the guides on Nodal Ninja's website it is pretty straight forward to setup. You can also call or email them. They are very helpful if you get stuck... Show More

Makes it easy to do photospheres
This is my first foray into 360* photospheres, and the Nodal Ninja M1-L with the RD16 II rotator made it so easy to accurately create high-quality 360 photos. I came into this with three decades' experience in photography as my profession; so, it was just a matter of understanding the angles and math of 360. With a little research and some experimentation...you can easily be up and running with this panoramic head. The machining on it is top-not... Show More

Top Notch
This thing is solid. if you're using a DSLR to create panos then you need a tripod head that won't budge unless you want it to. With the Nodal Ninja you're paying for that quality engineering. The Swiss Arca system is simple and effective and you will find an assortment of accessories for your needs.I am using the Nodal Ninja for creating 360 panoramas to be used in virtual tours. Put it on a sturdy heavy tripod and you will get the precision req... Show More

awesome
This is an awesome addition. Finally, you can shoot panos in rows with any lens. The click stops are poorly explained in the documentation but once figured out, is a snap. Click, click, click. I easily produced a vertical set pano 10 across in 3 rows. Using AutoPan (not PS), I produced a flawless pano with a 70 mm lens thus reducing barrel and lens distortion. Highly recommended. Highly crafted.Just beware that the documentation is non-existant. A sad commementary on a developing trend. Just look it up. If you dig deep enough there are some good references.

Very fine piece of equipment
I was trying to get a wide view of home interiors with very little distortion. I have a Nikon 14-24mm lens that gives me more than an enough coverage but my clients complain about the distortion. So I bought this panoramic head hoping by stitching several images together so I could get a photo with very little distortion. I tried it every which way I could think of. It just didn't work out. I gave it 5 stars because its an incredible piece of equptment, very precise. If you get this you must get the Nodal Ninja Ez-Leveler-Ii it will save you tons of time.

Great piece great price.
I bought a cheaper panoramic head from competitor. I returned it because of build. I spent the extra coinage to purchase this from b&h. I'm glad I did. The build quality is amazing! I especially like the configuration option on the rotator piece. T this world perfect for my Nikon D810. I would highly recommend you buy this.
