THE NODAL NINJA 5 SERIES PANO HEADS HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED
ONCE EXISTING STOCK IS DEPLETED IT WILL NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE

Nodal Ninja 5 with Standard Rotator - These are not factory irregulars.

The standard lower rotator uses reversible detent rings from 10 degrees to 120 degrees stops. Unlike the 5L the upper rotator can be locked in any 15 degree increment.

The Nodal Ninja 5 series pano heads were built off the award winning NN3. Slightly bigger stronger and more robust this series will support heavier cameras and lenses. Less than 2 lbs in weight this series is best suited for those with larger cameras like the Nikon D3X or Canon EOS. Some medium format camera will also fit. And lenses as well as cameras usuing optional battery grips.  You can also mount your camera in both landscape (horizontal) and portrait (vertical) orientation.

The only difference between NN5 and NN5L "Lite" is that NN5 has the ability to lock the upper rotator lock in any 15 degrees increment. These positive locks can be disengaged on the fly without having to remove your camera by using the built-in locking lever. Because of the positive locks NN5 is able to support up to approx 22 lbs of weight (10 KG). Ideal regular use working load should be about half the maximum weight load.
NOTE: If your camera or camera grip has an offset tripod mount (from center of lens) you will need to order a t-adapter (sold separately).
