We spoke to Elisabetta Cartoni at the IBC 2026 booth about the head, its encoder provision, and the broadcast work the company expects it to do.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cartoni has been building nodal heads for around 30 years. The range runs from the 50kg (110 lb) Lambda 50 down through the Lambda 25, below which sat an older, tube-based Lambda 10. That history has been unusually visible at the other end of the range this year.

The Lambda 15 is the answer to those requests. Cameras have shrunk, and what Cartoni kept being asked for was a nodal head light enough to travel and small enough to sit on a compact jib or a slider rather than requiring a full-size support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Cartoni-Lambda-2-900x506.jpg\" alt=\"Cartoni Lambda at IBC 2026\" class=\"wp-image-439369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Cartoni-Lambda-2-900x506.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Cartoni-Lambda-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Cartoni-Lambda-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Cartoni-Lambda-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Cartoni-Lambda-2-340x190.jpg 340w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Cartoni-Lambda-2-460x259.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Cartoni-Lambda-2-409x230.jpg 409w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Cartoni-Lambda-2-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Cartoni-Lambda-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image credit: CineD<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What a nodal head does here<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The defining characteristic is that the rotation planes for pan and tilt both pass through the optical center of the lens, which is what allows a shot to pan or tilt without parallax between foreground and background.

She sees no meaningful border left between broadcast and cinema: cinema has traditionally been where new ideas and the most demanding products originate, but broadcast is where they get extensive use, and the picture quality associated with cinema shooting is increasingly expected on television. Live production now carries the same quality requirement, and the same lenses, large format sensors, and real-time visual effects have followed it there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Cartoni-Lambda-4-900x506.jpg\" alt=\"Cartoni Lambda at IBC 2026\" class=\"wp-image-439375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Cartoni-Lambda-4-900x506.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Cartoni-Lambda-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Cartoni-Lambda-4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Cartoni-Lambda-4-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Cartoni-Lambda-4-340x190.jpg 340w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Cartoni-Lambda-4-460x259.jpg 460w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Cartoni-Lambda-4-409x230.jpg 409w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Cartoni-Lambda-4-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Cartoni-Lambda-4.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image credit: CineD<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Encoders now, motors later<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Lambda 15 is a manual head with two axes, and a third axis is in design.

The same housing could also take a motor, which opens the possibility of a remote controlled Lambda later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Lambda-15-front-DSCF1149-copia-900x554.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-441342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Lambda-15-front-DSCF1149-copia-900x554.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Lambda-15-front-DSCF1149-copia-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Lambda-15-front-DSCF1149-copia-768x473.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Lambda-15-front-DSCF1149-copia-1536x946.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Lambda-15-front-DSCF1149-copia-374x230.jpg 374w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Lambda-15-front-DSCF1149-copia-260x160.jpg 260w, https:\/\/www.cined.com\/content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Lambda-15-front-DSCF1149-copia.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cartoni Lambda 15 nodal head.

We spoke to Elisabetta Cartoni at the IBC 2026 booth about the head, its encoder provision, and the broadcast work the company expects it to do. Cartoni has been building nodal heads for around 30 years. The range runs from the 50kg (110 lb) Lambda 50 down through the Lambda 25, below which sat an older, tube-based Lambda 10. That history has been unusually visible at the other end of the range this year.

Before moving to Vienna, I worked as a photographer on film sets, telling stories as they unfolded behind the scenes. Since then, I\u2019ve focused on immersive theater, both as a photographer and an actor. I am the photographer for the award-winning Nesterval ensemble, documenting the energy and atmosphere of their performances. I\u2019m a teller of stories. Stories hold my interest.
