Nodal Ninja SPH-2 User Manual
Panoramic photography is one of the fastest growing segments of photo imagery today. With developments in hardware and software this technology allows for seamless stitching of multiple images. If you take simple two shot panoramic images or complex 100+ shot super mega pixel mosaics, the Nodal Ninja is designed to eliminate parallax inherent when shooting adjacent images. Our panoramic tripod head is a quality piece of equipment designed to give you many years of use. Nodal Ninja is shipped in its foam lined carry case and come partially assembled.
Parallax defined:
Parallax is the apparent shifting of a foreground object to a background object when viewed at different angles or perspectives. With panoramic photography, multi-shot images and mosaics, as well as QTVR’s parallax error creates serious problems. This is because each image shot is actually different from the one before it due to the minor shifting of objects in the field. Seamless stitching of adjacently shot photos is very difficult whenever parallax is prevalent. Things simply won’t line up properly.
Parallax Demonstrated:
Hold your thumb out in front of you at arm’s length and view it with your right eye (left eye closed). Move your head back and forth while remaining focused on the background and you’ll see your thumb move back and forth – this is caused by parallax. The apparent movement of foreground objects to backgrounds and perspective changes. This is the same thing that happens when a camera is on a tripod. Tripods are NOT designed to eliminate parallax with panoramic photography.
