Lambda Nodal Heads

Lambda Nodal Heads

The Nodal head design has become synonymous with Cartoni. Over the decades Cartoni has perfected and advanced the Nodal head design to become an industry standard. The camera movement inherent in the Nodal design is a distinctive visual style, and when combined with Cartoni engineering the result is performance that cannot be easily replicated. Cartoni's patented 3rd Axis options further expand the Nodal capability for Dutch angles and full 360 horizontal rotation, offering capabilities that are truly unique.
