does anyone here have any experience using this panorama setup?
Until the dollar tanked, I had really only looked into the RRS kit, but now its out of my price range.
The NN5 looks like the next best thing,

I have not used the NN 5, but have done a lot of research into pano heads as I was going to replace my KingPano head a while ago.

The head you have chosen, NN 5 is the better of the 2 larger heads on offer, from this company and it was the one I had chosen for my replacement........ looking forward to some pano pixs

Hi! Scott,

A few weeks ago here a friend took delivery of a NN5L, and we went out and "played with it".

I was particularly interested in having a "hands on" look as I was in the process of deciding which pano setup for myself.

I was impressed with it, but thought it a bit fiddly in operation, slow to attach and remove from tripod without quick release etc.

The build quality -v- $'s was O'K I thought.

In the end, as I intend to do multi-row pano's and my need to have kit that is robust and easy to carry around on foot, assemble quickly etc
and the fact that I use the RRS BH55 head & L brackets swung me away from the NN5. To much hassle & the need for tools to change over when required, also was doubtfull about its ability to operate in our extreme heat with plastic knobs & bits.
(I have had these come away when standing in the sun 40C+, with similar, but yes it does get hot here )

This week my RRS Pano rig arrived, I ordered the Ultimate Omni Pro package, AWESOME build quality! I have set it up once, and the strength, the fact that no tools are needed and the sheer speed of assembly made it a joy to behold!

Oops! sorry, got carried away there

I appreciate buying pano gear is such a personel choice, based on need, use & budget but if you, like me, already use RRS gear then you will not be disappointed staying with RRS, just a lot lighter in the hip pocket!!

Having said all that, if your budget won't reach to RRS, then go NN5L, the main thing is to be taking pics!!!

Cheers

Great review Andy

You should almost repost it with a couple of pics in the equipment reviews section to make it a bit easier to find..... and not get lost in the noise of general discussion.
