NN3 For Sale

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. This version of the NN3 is the one right before the NN3MKII. It's not the same price as the MKII. Those start out at $229.95 + tax and shipping. These pano heads hold their value pretty well. I went ahead and listed this on eBay if you are still interested.

I am unable to see the panos as I am on a mac. Is there any way you can post these to view with QuickTime?

Also, by stitchless, what exactly do you mean?

Thanks!

Sounds like I need to save some $$$ and try and sell the 8mm f4 later to upgrade to the f3.5. Thanks for all the info everyone!

John,

I tested this once I got home and on the 40D you should be able to set the timer to 2 or 10 seconds and then set the auto bracketing to your preference and fire with the mirror lock up in LiveView mode to auto take the three shots. I have not used the mirror lock up alone. Is that even possible to do and not have LiveView come up? Also if you are not near your camera and want to do something similar to this just set the rapid fire sequence to normal or high speed and with the remote trigger fire your 3 shots automatically. Just hold the button down while in the auto bracket mode and it should fire just the three shots. At least the 40D does this. I'm not sure about the 30D, 20D or the 5D. Maybe someone could test that out.

The f4 I have is the EX DG with the coating on the lens. Does this help in the chromatic aberration or no?

Dorin, I use the 40D also and love it. I recently discovered the feature of using the timer and auto bracketing function to shoot all three shots (with or without mirror lock up for shake reduction) without having to push the button three separate times. Just one click. I think this is the same on the 20D and 30D but not totally sure. The timer function is a 2 or 10 second choice also. It's a very nice camera with it's 14 bit versus the previous 12 bit processing.

What are the differences between the f4 and the f3.5? I currently have the f4 and have considered selling it for the f3.5 but have not convinced myself to do it yet. For one, it is more expensive than the one I have now. I know it will focus closer than the f4 and allow a little more light to pass through compared to my current lens. Are there any other benefits to the 3.5 like better focus or something?


THANKS IN ADVANCE! smile

Other than that, I don't think there are any major differences between the two. I believe the click stop base is the same from NN2 to NN3.

I think one of the differences is the upper and lower arms. They are longer to accommodate larger camera and lens pairing.

How are these shots done? I know the one in Minneapolis is from a helicopter but I'm not sure if it is a special rig or what. The one in Paris, my guess is that it is from a remote controlled air craft or a kite maybe. Any thoughts on these shots?
