Nodal Ninja 3 MK3 E1 C2 Mecha with Nadir Adapter - Dual Axis Robotic Panoramic Head
This is the new Mecha with a new dedicated dual axis C2 controller and E1 motor as the upper and lower rotator.
This setup supports a camera/lens up to 2 kg and a turning torque of 16 kg-cm. NPP adjustment is up to 110mm from the pivot point. It is ideal for mirror-less, compact and lighter DSLR cameras. Shoot 360° panoramas or even high-resolution gigapixel images.
Important: Long Remote Shutter Release Cable (not included)
The cable ensures camera triggering and focus lock. Any camera supporting a wired remote shutter release cable is compatible with MECHA. The CAM port on the Mecha is compatible with many 2.5mm 3rd party stereo remote shutter cords. You can use your own cable or purchase a cable from us here: Mecha remote shutter cables (LONG). A longer cable is recommended for the dual axis application to ensure the cable does not get tangled.

What is in the box
2x MECHA E1 rotator (F9900) · 1x MECHA C2 dual axis controller (F9911) · NN3 MK3 lower rail (F3316) · upper horizontal rail (F3337) with camera mounting plate and knob (F6027) · vertical rail (F3328) · rail range extender (F3329) · quick release nadir adapter (F6026) · case.
What the Mecha does and does not do. It positions the head and fires the shutter. Exposure bracketing is done by the camera, not by the controller, so set it up in the camera before you start.
Batteries are not included and we cannot ship them on their own. You need two NP-F550 or NP-F570 cells plus a charger; the dual battery holder (F9943) is in the box, the cells are not, and the kit will not move without them. Loose lithium cells count as dangerous goods, so if you cannot buy them locally, add them to this order and they travel with the head.
