The community has been waiting for a portable, easy to use and yet rigid enough pole for making aerial panoramas using typical DSLRs in the market. Fanotec poles are easy to operate and carry. They can be extended to maximum height in minutes by pushing up and locking each telescoping section. Made of carbon fiber tubes, they are light-weight, portable and are ideal for on-the-go situations and areas not accessible to vehicle mounted units.

Fanotec poles are modular in design. Users can start up with a small module and gradually build up the height by stacking it to a larger module. Each module can be used independently (additional parts needed), creating an array of short poles with different stiffness for different applications, such as horizontal pole for cliff panoramas.

Aerial panoramic photography is ideal for tourism, festivals, surveys, construction planning, and many other applications. It provides a new, exciting perspective of landmarks and landscapes at elevated height. Obstacles no longer obstruct the view at the location.

Features and Highlights:

• Thick cross-layered carbon fiber tubes for maximum rigidity and durability
• Light weight  
• Compact in size - fit most cars
• Anti-rotation system maintains rigid azimuth / yaw locking /accuracy
• support a large range of DSLRs
• 3/8" stud and 3/8" female receiver for working with other accessories
  

Specifications:

Series 1 can be stacked to Series 2 to gain a higher max height.
Recommended loading is 2kg (4.4lbs) for all poles at full vertical extension.

FOR A LIMITED TIME WE ARE INCLUDING A "FREE WIRELESS REMOTE" WITH EACH ORDER (retail value £15)!!!

Note: The Fanotec Pole Series 1 is more intended for commercial applications and not recommended for those new to pole photography. Fanotec are developing accessories to make them more user friendly to novice users.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES:
* Fanotec Carbon Fiber Poles conduct electricity very well. Please take extreme caution when raising and using these poles around electrical wires.
* Fanotec poles are NOT designed to be mounted onto a rigid tripod. The pole base can be damaged by the added torque generated with the use of camera and lens at full extension. We are developing dedicated accessories for safe use with tripods.

THE NODAL NINJA 5 SERIES PANO HEADS HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED
The casting mould reached the end of its life span. It's successor, due out early 2011, will be modular in design and built to even greater precision standards. But not to worry - if you need NN5 series now we have some great deals on factory irregulars (cosmetic).
As models sell out the "add to cart" button will disappear.

Nodal Ninja 5 w/R-D16 Rotator FACTORY IRREGULAR

What is a factory irregular? - See Nodal Ninja Forum explanation here.

Best of the Best - Combines our NN5 with the RD16 advanced rotator. Click stops as small as 3.75 degrees. Shoot giga-pixel images up to 200mm focal length.

The Nodal Ninja 5 series pano heads were built off the award winning NN3. Slightly bigger stronger and more robust this series will support heavier cameras and lenses. Less than 2 lbs in weight this series is best suited for those with larger cameras like the Nikon D3X or Canon EOS. Some medium format camera will also fit. And lenses as well as cameras usuing optional battery grips.  You can also mount your camera in both landscape (horizontal) and portrait (vertical) orientation.
To learn which Nodal Ninja series pano head is best suited for you visit our product selector page click here

Nodal Ninja 5 with Standard Rotator FACTORY IRREGULAR

What is a factory irregular? - See Nodal Ninja Forum explanation here.

The standard lower rotator uses reversible detent rings from 10 degrees to 120 degrees stops. Unlike the 5L the upper rotator can be locked in any 15 degree increment.

The Nodal Ninja 5 series pano heads were built off the award winning NN3. Slightly bigger stronger and more robust this series will support heavier cameras and lenses. Less than 2 lbs in weight this series is best suited for those with larger cameras like the Nikon D3X or Canon EOS. Some medium format camera will also fit. And lenses as well as cameras usuing optional battery grips.  You can also mount your camera in both landscape (horizontal) and portrait (vertical) orientation.

The new Tokina AT-X 107 DX is a full-frame fish-eye lens that gives the photographer a 180 degree field of view with dramatic curvature of field or “fish-eye” effect. With this lens an entire view or vista can be captured, wider than the human eye can see.

The AT-X 107 opens an entirely new dimension of photography. The front element of the AT-X 107 DX has a newly formulated WR or “Water Repellent" optical coating on the glass. This new coating makes marks such as spots left by water or finger-prints much easier to clean than standard multi-coating.** The rear optical group of the lens contains 1 SD (Super-Low Dispersion) glass element to reduce the number of elements (pieces of glass) in the optical design in order to make the lens more compact, light-weight and faster focusing.

Features:

Ultra Wide Angle

• This lens enables the shooting of fisheye images with a 180° angle of view and a focal length of 10mm. Furthermore, the lens offers super wide-angle performance that allows photographer to make use of dramatic changes in angle of view resulting from slight changes in focal length.
• Equivalent focal length of 16mm-27mm in 35mm format, when used with Canon digital SLR cameras.

High Optical Performance

• Employing ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass, this lens effectively compensates to overcome chromatic aberration throughout the image. And with improved optical architecture and a ghost-free lens coating, ghosting and flare are suppressed to produce clear, high-quality images.

Exclusive Digital Design

• The image circle of the lens has been created to match the smaller image recording area of digital SLR cameras. This ensures precise optical performance ideally suited to the camera's digital imaging characteristics.

WP Coating

• WP (Water Proof) coating made of a special fluoride compound has been applied to the front surface of the new lens through the use of a unique evaporation process. As a result, the lens offers excellent water- and oil-repellent performance and makes for easier cleaning should the lens be accidentally smeared with fingerprints or cosmetics.

Super Macro

• An internal focus system allows photographers to focus from as close as approx. 1" (approx. 2.5 cm), giving them the power to fill the whole frame with surprisingly small subjects.

Quick-Shift Focus System

• The Quick-Shift Focus System allows to instantly shift to manual focus once the subject is captured by AF.

The Canon EOS 550D digital SLR camera takes many of the features found in professional cameras and squeezes them into a smaller, more consumer friendly body.

The 550D's 18 megapixel APS-C sized CMOS sensor is paired with Canon's advanced DIGIC IV image processor to give users superb image quality, unlimited creativity and Full 1920x1080p HD movie capability. The sensor and processor combination offers ISO settings of 100-6400 (expandable to 12800) and clever in-camera noise reduction technology further improves the EOS 550D's low-light performance.

The 3 inch Clear View LCD screen with 1040k dot resolution provides remarkable clarity for both composition with the 550D's Live View Mode and for reviewing your images and videos. Despite being considerably smaller than many Pro DSLRs, the 550D offers a continuous shooting rate of 3.7 frames per second and a 9 point auto-focus system, making it capable of grabbing fast-paced action shots that other cameras may struggle with.
