Smooth ride and great overall feel

Very strong and heavy construction. Smooth movement and great overall feel. I use it to attach an arrow (made of lightweight carbon) to a tripod because it gives me the ability to swing on axis in combination with vertical movements. The SLR DSLR (Sony A7) offers excellent response and feel.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • Negative

Quality and reasonable price

I have this and the Nodal Ninja panoramic head. I think the quality of the Sunwayfoto Rotator is as good if not better than the more expensive Nodal Ninja. I use Sunwayfoto more often because it's easier to transport. Note that I don't do spherical panoramas with Sunawayfoto's panhead like I did with NodalNinja (which also has a rotation index for altitude).

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • No

Great product, fits tripods and monopods

I've always wanted to get into panoramic photography but my first few were problematic. It was a choice between this and another more expensive item described as the same. I bought it and am very happy with the results and ease of use. By the way, I have bought other products from Sunwayfoto and I was also very satisfied with this company.

  • Best

An investment in quality for a great panorama

Works as advertised! The clicks are crisp and the build quality is top-notch. The angles are accurate, there is no backlash. I bought a Sunwayfoto DDY-64iL round clamp that fits this rotator perfectly. You no longer have to look through the viewfinder to see overlaps. Click, click, click a few times and the panorama sequence is complete. Turning to precise angles with just a touch of your hand saves a lot of time. More importantly, it reduces the time lag between shots by minimizing lighting…

Pros
  • Well built
Cons
  • Faulty

A great accessory for creating panoramas!

Incredible thing for taking panoramas, and even in high quality! It's very heavy for its size, so there are few non-metal parts. Preset detents provide a soft stop you can feel when you turn your head, so you know how far to turn before taking the next frame in a row. All you need is a calculation tool like the one in the pictures I've provided to determine the pan displacement so you know where to adjust the clamps. I use pointinfocus.com. You enter your camera's sensor type (full-frame…

Pros
  • Useful not only for the intended purpose
Cons
  • A number of factors
