Good afternoon, What is the preferred tripod head for panoramic photography?
Brian,
The two most popular systems for producing panoramic images are:
(1) Roundshot VR Drive
(2) Nodal Ninja
I can only tell you that I have 2 of them for what I do as one doesn’t totally fit the bill. I have a Nodal Ninja 5 head
for my Canon 5d mK2 when I shoot general stuff and sports. I like it traveling and just general photography where I
don’t need to have a lot of stuff or worry about batteries etc. The other head is a must for me when I shoot large
groups and aerials. It is the Seitz Roundshot VR Drive. This head allows me to be hands free while shooting a
panorama. I need to be able to do other things with my hands while shooting groups and for aerial photo pans,
the VR drive can be placed outside the helicopter and just operate on its own.
Great, thanks Gentlemen. So the Nodal Ninja is the preferred choice for Manual applications I take it. Are there any other Notable brands out there for manual Pano Heads?
I appreciate your feedback.
