Tip for determining the Nodal Point of any lens. It's very simple, it's the focal length of the lens. Take that distance and measure from the Film Plane and that is the nodal point. BTW a small tape measure in your kit bag is quite handy for this.
Informative video. Thank you. It appears that Acratech no longer makes that nodal rail. Their rail now has a thumb screw clamp instead of the lever clamp. The bubble level is in a seemingly awkward location. Is there a way to special order the model you demonstrated with Acratech?
What was the aspect ratio and Mpicel count of that Pano? I use an Acratec pano head and rail. My panos are usually 2x4.5 and around 102 Mpixels or 2x6 and around 140 Mpixels with my EOS R.
Thank you. I have a few nodal rails and panoramic clamp but was wondering what was unique about the acrotech one. Thank you for your explanation. Take care.
