Fanotec began the development of Nodal Ninja in 2004. The latest
generation heads are created using state of the art computer-controlled
cutting (CNC) machines resulting in greater precision, uniformity, and cross-
compatibility.
Small, sleek, and very attractive. By comparison to other panoramic heads,
the NN6 is still lightweight, compact, and very durable. And it’s Arca-Swiss
compatible making it suitable for most cameras to include compact
cameras, Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mirrorless cameras, DSLR’s, and even
some medium format cameras using these mounts.
The NN6 is similar in design and function to its little brother, the NN3 “MK3”.
