Tripod Head Novoflex PANORAMA 48 Black Blue Pan

The Novoflex PANORAMA 48 Black Blue Pan is an ultra-compact panorama panning base designed for precise horizontal rotation. Measuring 18 mm in height, 85 mm in width and weighing 160 g, it provides a slim, portable solution for panoramic photography. The unit combines integrated click stops with stepless rotation and a smooth ball-bearing mechanism for play-free movement and accurate panning.

Advantages

The PANORAMA 48 offers multiple indexed click-stop options (16/22.5°, 30/12°, 36/10° and 48/7.5°) plus a continuously adjustable mode, enabling both repeatable and fluid rotations. A 0–360° scale with 5° graduations allows precise angular adjustment. The built-in ball bearing ensures a smooth, backlash-free run, and the removable anti-rotation pin provides flexible mounting options.
