Review on SUNWAYFOTO Indexing Rotator DDP 64M DDP64M by Scott Yenson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Solid product, weak detents for indexing

Looks good overall. However, the fixers for indexing are weak. By that I mean a minimal tactile sensation that tells you when you hit the set angle. My main rotor is a Nodal Ninja RD16. Very durable, with very positive feedback on the closures. When you're shooting a task, there's no mistaking when you hit the corner. The Sunway DDP-64M has small and flat detents, so scrolling over the detents is easy as the tactile feedback is weak. And yes, I screwed the angle selector screw in all the way. I feel a fixation, it's just not enough if you work. I've been shooting 360° for over 7 years now, so I have a lot of experience with how things should work. It should be similar to Nodal Ninja where it's a very positive stop when you press the detent. This is really really bad since the rotator is massive. But weak locks make it unsuitable for professional shooting.

Pros
  • Lubricated bearings for smooth rotation.
Cons
  • unreliable

Now my panoramics are under control. It is precise and easy to use, a little heavy though.

It's solid and work fine with my small jib.
