I got into panorama photo a year ago. Since then I have invested a lot of money. I bought a Nodal Ninja III Mk.II for my Nikon D90, but soon discovered problems with size and weight. So I got the brilliant idea: why not modify the head with spare parts from the Nodal Ninja 5? Not a brilliant idea Nodal replied, but we'll upgrade for 230 Euros. That inspired a new idea: why not build your own? I have found a lot of DIY pano heads on the net. The only thing I need is the talent and gift to do decent metal work. So I am looking for advice, inspiration etc. from people, who have been in the same type of situation (no money, no talent).
