Nodal Ninja Panoramic head

[Nikon Fan]

Has anyone got any experience of using this particular Panoramic head, as the price looks good and would be using it with a Nikon D200 and lens weighing approx 1.6kg.

I have the NN5 but have used it with the d200 / s5pro with grip and nikon 10.5mm fisheye.

Example 1

Example 2

Both at the 2009 TP convention btw, spot the dodgy mods

The NN5 is a extra £100, I will pay the extra if it is that much stronger as it will hold up to 5kg. But would like to know if anyone has experience of the NN3.

For 360's you tend to want a fisheye so a d200 + a 10.5mm (or a 18-xxx kit lens) will be about 300g under the 1.6kg.

So you should be OK.

Thanks for your reply's, I will do a bit more research, but will probably go for the NN3. Unless anyone else posts here with positive or negative comments.

Have used a NN3 for a couple of years, with a 450D and 10-22mm lens. Found it to be a well made piece of kit - no complaints and very happy with it.
