| The
LAMBDA
is a NODAL
SWING HEAD
ideally suited for 35MM
film
cameras fully equipped with long lenses, mattebox
and extra large film magazines.
Providing a high
level of operational flexibility, this Fluid Head
can be easily fitted to a wide range of supports
including tripods, dollies, cranes and camera
cars. The mounting can be inverted in under-slung
position for low line positioning and allow the
camera to be moved all the way to the ground and
provide for accurate images which normally cannot
be obtained with other traditional supports.
The
balance system is designed so that the camera may
swing on its center of gravity and rotate 360° on
its vertical axis. No springs or similar counter
reaction elements are required to set the head in
a fixed tilt position and fluid pan and tilt
movements have the same identical feel. The lens
focal distance can be kept constant by presetting
the fore and aft horizontal sliding plate.
The LAMBDA
employs
the patented CARTONI
fluid
drag control system on both pan and tilt modes. In
order to obtain the 3
RD AXIS rotation,
the LAMBDA
features
the 3 rd Axis accessory comprising an additional
fl uid drag system with 7 steps + "0".
A
variety of accessories as the orientable
extendable pan bar, the round steering wheel, the
short pan handle, the 150mm bowl base, the
counterweights and rods for nodal setting complete
the equipment.
