The Cartoni Lambda 50 Third Axis adds the roll axis to the classic Lambda 50 nodal head. It is mounted in place of the Lambda 50 camera stage, creating three independent rotation axes for pan, tilt and roll. Precision cranks on the slide let you combine nodal settings on all three axes. It includes an additional 7-step + 0 fluid drag unit.
