Thanks, links and a free competition
I would like to personally thank Bill Bailey at Nodal Ninja for giving me the opportunity to use, abuse and review the Nodal Ninja 3. It has been nothing but a pleasure. From the time that I agreed to this review, to me receiving the NN3 (USA to Germany) was just 3 working days. Whilst reviewing the NN3 I have called on Bill several times for advice and clarification, his replies have been prompt, friendly, informative and laced with good humour. He prides himself on excellent customer service and it is apparent from my experience with him and the many testimonials on his website that he is achieving that.
I would also like to extend my thanks to Rosauro Ona for supplying some of the product shots used in this article.
This review and everything in it are my personal thoughts, findings and opinion. Bill neither had, nor sort any influence over its contents at any time.

The Nodal Ninja 3 is currently available as two options.
NN3 stand alone which comes with standard 15/18 detent ring for USD $199
OR
NN3 Package - Includes T-Adapter (N3T20 or T-30), Detents (15/18, 20/24, 45/60, 90/120, 72/0), and zippered bag case all for USD $219.95 - excellent value at only $20 more that the NN3 standalone.
Obviously package contents and prices may vary so check with Bill at NN if you want to order.
As a late addition, it is worth mentioning that there are plans to release the new Nodal Ninja 5 in the very near future. This new addition is intended to hold larger camera/lens like the Nikon D2X and Canon MKII combinations and should fit the gap for the few users who would find the NN3 too small for their equipment. For ordering a NN3 or more details on the NN5, please visit the Nodal Ninja website.
