Nodal Ninja Adapter very unstable
Posted: 21 Jun 2012 at 12:47 GMT
Hi, i have tested nondal ninja nadir adapter

store.nodalninja.com/index.php/pano-heads/r1-r10/...

It's a good thing for nadir shot but it's a bad thing for orizontal shot!! it incrase the unstability of tripod-panohead-camera.

When i use it in my equipement (tripod - nn adapter - nodal ninja ultimate r1 - canon 5d mkII) the four shot aren't in the same position becouse whent camera turn and change the position of npp value:

imageshack.us/photo/my-images/137/nodalninjaadapt...

so...somebody have a good expirience with this product?
5d mkii is too heavy?

Canon 5D + Tokina 10-17 (at 12mm) + R10 +2.5° and 4 images at 90° works perfect for me in PTGui.

Turn the rotator instead of pushing the camera. Use a rotator handle. The weight of camera is on top of the zenith nadir adapter and will not change the tilt of zenith nadir adapter.

store.nodalninja.com/index.php/pano-heads/r1-r10/...


metre te credo che hai questo:

Ciao William!

Ti avevo già chiesto di inviarmi un set di immagini, ed il relativo progetto di PTGui, in cui riscontri questa instabilità nel posizionamento dello strumento sul punto di non parallasse.

Solo in questo modo potrò capire meglio a cosa è dovuto il problema che hai evidenziato, ed eventualmente suggerirti una soluzione!

Grazie,
Mauro
