You can build a panohead yourself out of arca swiss rails, clamps and rotators. I built one for use with the Canon 8-15mm + A7Rm3A with an adapter as it was too big for my NN3MkIII. If you have some parts lying around, that could be a cheap way.
There are other solutions that are cheaper than the NN6 which might work with the 14-24mm. https://www.amazon.co.uk/SUNWAYFOTO-CR-3015A-Spherical-Panoramic-Compatible/dp/B07CNHLRH2 might work (no guarantee). This is another option https://panosociety.com/collections/panoramic-heads/products/nodal-ninja-ultimate-m1l-rd16-advanced-rotator You can also look at https://www.nodalninja.com/ for deals on Factory Irregulars PS "nodal" or "nodal point" actually refers to something different to the no-parallax point or entrance pupil of a lens. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrance_pupil "Panoramic photographers often incorrectly refer to the entrance pupil as a nodal point, which is a different concept."
