The Manfrotto MH057A5 positions the camera precisely at the nodal point for sequential shots with a constant angle. This helps minimize parallax when stitching panoramas.
The system is based on the 300N panoramic unit, supplemented by sliding horizontal and vertical plates with laser-engraved scales. The quick-release L-bracket allows for vertical camera orientation and a wider vertical field of view. The system is designed for most 35mm and digital cameras with wide-angle or standard lenses.
