• To release the Camera plate (16) pull the red safety lever (6) and completely open it to disen-
gage the Camera plate.
• Secure the Camera plate (16) at 90° orthogonally to the camera assembly and firmly tighten it
with both screws.
• Place the Camera on the
LAMBDA 25
, leaning sidewards against the external sliding base
(9) side, then push the assembly into horizontal position until the red safety lever (6) clicks in
place; push the red safety lever (6) all the way in to lock.
• Set the
LAMBDA 25
horizontal slide (2) and vertical slide (24) at needed extension in order to
prevent the Camera and its accessories to interfere with the
LAMBDA 25
frame during the
360° movement. Operate the Pan lock lever (21) and tilt lock lever (20) to lock and unlock.
• Place the Camera mounting bracket (18) at 90° on 3
rd
Axis; lock in position with the spin lock
lever (23); unlock the tilt lock lever (20). Check spin rotation and set the Camera assembly po-
sition by turning the wheel (25).
• Operate to crank the control wheel (13) to line up the rotation shaft with the position of the
Camera center of gravity (CG) (optical rotation center); see Video at www.cartoni.com/prod-
ucts/fluid-heads/fluid-heads-sfx/hl2500-ta-lambda-25-third-axis/.
• If the Camera is out of balance, we have to correct the CG of the entire system. Fix one or two
counterbalance rods with weights to the rosette (22), adjust angular position of the rod and
the weight position, until you fit the Camera in balance. This operation can require several fine
tuning attempts.
• Unlock spin lock lever (23) and Pan lock lever (21).
• The Camera has to be balanced and has to rotate 360° when turning the control wheel (25) for
roll rotation and the main Pan bar (10) for Pan and tilt rotation.
