Nodal Ninja M2 Giga Plate with RD8-II Rotator

Description

The Nodal Ninja M2 Giga Plate with RD8-II Rotator has been created for high-resolution imaging using telephoto and super telephoto lenses. Nodal Ninja's patented design allows precise positive stops of 7.5/5/4/3.75/3/2.5/2/1.5 intervals on the upper rotator, which can be engaged and changed on-the-fly by simply switching 1 or 2 levers.

The M2 supports up to 700mm equivalent focal length with camera in landscape orientation, or 550mm equivalent in portrait orientation. The D8III allows precise click stops at 30, 15, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2.5, 2. Due to the precision of the rotators, each photo can have precise coordinates, which helps to quickly align the photos when stitching.

This rotator is much lighter than a robotic pano head for the same load capacity. There is no battery and charger to carry and no worry of the battery running out during a shooting. The rotator indexing can be turned off for free motion, allowing photographers to capture moving elements such as in a sports, or to capture second shots for an area prone to stitching error by change the overlapping region.
