Some panoramas can be shot handheld (usually few images) or using a monopod with bubble level (4 images for 360x180) or using a regular panorama head on a tripod. I was using a Manfrotto VR Head for many years, before I changed this year to a Nodalninja 5.
Main reasons:
- Weight and size
The Nodal Ninja is 4 times lighter and can be transported in a small pouch. - Supporting cameras
I use it with the 1Ds and long lenses and a Mamiya ZD, which are impossible to support in portrait mount on the old Manfrotto. - Accuracy
The Nodal Ninja just nicely clicks into position for a fast and reproducible shooting process. - Price
Get the head at their online shop for 499.- U$ with the D16 rotator.
