Cartoni Lambda 50 Nodal Fluid Head (HL5000) – Heavy-Payload Nodal Head, 40kg Payload

The Cartoni Lambda 50 (HL5000) brings the distinctive Lambda nodal head visual style to heavy camera configurations – with a 40kg 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 – 360° pan and tilt, parallax-free rotation around the optical axis, underslung capability – scaled up for the most demanding productions.

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