Cartoni Lambda 50 Nodal Fluid Head (HL5000) - Heavy-Payload Nodal Head, 50kg Payload

The Cartoni Lambda 50 (HL5000) brings the distinctive Lambda nodal head visual style to heavy camera configurations, with a 50kg payload capacity that handles large cinema cameras, long lenses, full matte box setups and heavy accessories that the Lambda 25 cannot carry. All the precision nodal characteristics of the Lambda series, including 360 degree pan, parallax-free rotation around the optical axis and underslung capability, scaled up for the most demanding productions.

When your camera package is too heavy for the Lambda 25 but you will not compromise on nodal precision, the Lambda 50 is the answer.

Key Features

• 50kg payload capacity: handles large cinema cameras with full accessories
• Nodal swing head: camera rotates around the optical axis, eliminating parallax
• 360 degree pan: unlimited horizontal movement, with +/-65 degree tilt
• Underslung position: for crane arm, jib and low-angle work
• 7-step fluid drag plus 0 on all axes: precise, consistent movement under heavy load
• Orientable counterweight rods: fine-tune balance when slide run is insufficient
• Compatible with tripods, dollies, cranes and camera cars
• Made in Italy: Cartoni engineering since 1935
