Panoramic photography - how to find the Nodal Point (no parallax point) of your lens... 

I watched a lot of videos. I couldn't understand anything. In a very short time, I learned to find the nodal point in a wonderful way thanks to your video. thank you so much.

In 3:30, you efficiently explained what it took someone else about 20 minutes to do in another video. I will note that he added a bit of refinement regarding spacing of camera and alignment "poles" re: distance, and differentiation of poles. In your case, it is easy to differentiate the top of the back stand from the front stand.

That was the easiest and quickest description on how to do it I've seen. Thanks bunches.

The simplest and straight to the point video. Thank you!

seriously, after lot of vids here ... this is the most useful i everseen on youtube, toda!

Terrific tutorial - to the point, concise, no fluff or extra editorial commentary!

I just purchased my pano head and I greatly appreciate that you have presented a straightforward and logical way to set it up. Thank you.

Excellent! Clear as clear can be!

Thank you for your clear and informative instructions. You are the best.

A great tutorial. Simple, but clear. I like it

This really helped me. I just got the NNinja Pano Head yesterday. This video really made the setup understandable. Thanks! Dave

The perfect tutorial ! thank's a lot !

So much easier to understand than the Panasaurus sheet. Thanks.

Great vid. Wish I saw it when I got my panohead. I was off on the horizontal by 5mm and after viewing this my indoor 360s are perfect. Thanks!!!!!

Fantastic simple instructions! Thanks for saving my life

I love you, disembodied voice.

THANK YOU!! This is the best instructional of nodal I've found :)

Thanks very much, this is very clear.

Thank you for the useful tutorial ! You have such a nice voice :)

Hi Sealand, the nodal point would not alter regardless of the photo subject. it WOULD change however if you were using a zoom lens and adjusted / altered the zoom after setting up - you would need to check and reset the position of the camera on the tripod head.

Nice job explaining that... wish I had seen that a long time ago.

Very nice and informative video.

awesome and short thanks!

Hehe = no problem, you didn't miss it - I just added it to the description for you and any other users who might have this question :)

Thanks for this. it really helped me a lot. thanks..

thank you for the video..nice explanation!

Absolutely usefull !!! thanks a lot !!!

very useful technique ,, thanks

Hi Fernando - good question! - And the answer is YES - see the video guide for the T-adapater (it is in the description above).

NOW I get it! Thanks.

Simple, concise and to the point. love this tutorial. Greatly appreciate 600GLE!

Great video - thank you. Spot on.

Bought NN3, and received it yesterday. Was struggling to do the initial setup and them came across this video. Very nice and precise. One question : How much distance should we keep between the two rods to align the vertical lines ?

Thanks for the video. For any given lens, is the nodal point the same whether you're shooting interiors or shooting a distant landscape?

Quite good. But isn't it true that the node point is about half way between the lens front element and the film plane, which means, in your case, slightly forward of the front of the camera body. I feel you should include that to make the student understand and that the camera pivots about a point halfway between both. It wasn't mentioned and initially I couldn't figure out where the 'centre' pivot point lay - or what I was looking for. Thanks again.

Класс! Всё понял не понимая слов.=) Очень Наглядно! Супер! Спасибо!

Thanks..... Any software recommended for joining the Panorama Picture & also the Panorama 360 Video?

Hi - This is a Nodal Ninja NN3 model but with a rotator upgrade to the RD3L model ( I have added further information and a link in the video description )

a wide-angle or fisheye lens will be taking a picture of the nodal ninja arm in that position, won't it?

after you found the no parallax point - if you were to move the tripod back say 10 feet - would you have to re-adjust?

hi, i've watched a video, about a camera called "How RICOH THETA " and it should take picts and video 360 degree, so what is the different between this camera and the tools like(digital camera, tripod, panohead & fisheye lens? can you please tell me?? thanks

I am having a hard time finding a bracket like the one you use in this video. Can you help? What kind of bracket is that?

Hello, hate to bother you with this but I can not find your further information and link in the video description. Would you please send me the link. BTW, great tutorial, thank you. Lowell

when using a zoom lens, will the nodal point move as the lens is zoomed to a different focal length?
