The M1-S Arm with RD16-II Advanced Rotator from Nodal Ninja is a panoramic arm and base rotator kit designed to produce stable, repeatable results for panoramic, gigapixel, landscape, commercial, and HDR photography.
The M1-S arm features a sturdy anodized-aluminum design built to support lenses from 8 to 200mm. The arm also utilizes multiple Arca-type clamps and rails to ensure compatibility with most Arca-type quick release plates. The included vertical rotator allows for adjustment in 7.5° increments marked by laser engravings and features a removable Arca-type camera mounting clamp.
The Included RD16-II Advanced Rotator features a total of 16 different selectable detent intervals, from 3.75 to 120°. The 62mm base diameter/foot nadir footprint is easily utilized by most camera and lens combinations but is ideally suited for ultra-wide fisheye lenses when capturing full 360 x 180° spherical panoramas. Combining anodized aluminum parts with a lubricated inner ball bearing design, the RD16-II also provides the very precise, fluid rotation required for professional usage. Using the included detent plungers, the user can easily change click stops on-the-fly—an ideal feature in time-sensitive situations, including shooting high resolution multi-image mosaics, or shooting the same scene at different focal lengths.
