Nodal Ninja R1
Nodal Ninja R1 Adjustable Tilt Head Only with no rotator and no lens ring included. R1 is a single row panoramic head designed for use with circular and full frame fisheye lenses.
This head without a rotator is a great deal if you already have your Ultimate Series rotator or if you are planning to attach the head on top of a monopod or Aerial Pole. In that case you would rotate the whole monopod or pole and therefore no upper rotator is needed. For aerial poles a lower rotator on the ground in recommended.
