The Cartoni Lambda 25 Third Axis adds a third axis to the Lambda 25 nodal head, allowing nodal setting on three rotation axes, as if the camera were enclosed in a sphere. It fits any existing Lambda 25: simply take apart the two L-shaped frames and insert the third axis between them. Ideal for underslung use on dollies or cranes, it carries up to 20 kg.

The third axis comes with a short camera plate to fit the inverted camera slide and two 1 kg counterweights. The axis itself weighs 5.8 kg and has continuous fluid drag.

Pan, tilt and roll axes intersect at a single point, so the camera rotates around its optical centre in every direction.

The head can be used underslung from cranes, jib arms or on dollies, giving positions a conventional head cannot reach.
A short camera plate fits the inverted camera slide.
The counterweights help balance the camera on its nodal point.

The L-shaped roll axis is driven by a hand wheel and carries the short camera plate.
