I was see in youtube this Nodal Ninja and how to take best panoramic photos, but when i see the price I decided make my own nodal ninja and this is the result

Desing

SOLIDWORKS Premium 2015 x64 Edition - [nodel.SLDASM ].jpg

the materials are:

Aluminum Profile 1" x 1".
Metal File.
Dremel.
3D Printer (I use The Replicator Dual CTC).
Screws and Nuts 1/4".
Hex Key.
Screw M4X10.
Vernier.
Tap M4.

Printed Parts

I designed all of the parts, the last photo are the camera holder, I only posted the photo of the ensemble but in the files I put the all of parts.

Assembly Parts

the aluminium profile you can cut your preference this depends on size of your camera.

in this part maybe you need the dremel or the metal file to scrape the plastic so you can enter the piece.

Final

this is the result, I used oil to slide more smooth the pieces,

Files

this are the my files.

and this the viewer to check my project
