Renowned for its strength, precision and versatility, the original Mo-Sys Lambda has been a leading force in Hollywood over the last ten years. With an imposing track record and long list of high-profile feature films, the next generation Lambda 2.0 has big shoes to fill.
With the modularity come three stages of operational sophistication. The touchscreen operator can set the level with a password we provide. Some rental houses have been using the first level head as a tech-less system. The second level is for motion control with a simple, tech-less operation.
The Lambda 2.0 is pre-equipped with telescopic camera plates, which provide quick and easy adjustment for any size of camera packages. The slip-ring technology allows continuous multi-turn 360˚ rotation on all axes without the worry of cable wraps. Since it was originally designed for motion control, the Lambda 2.0 offers and enhanced high-precision operation, accurate to a millionth of a full rotation, or a 3000th of a degree.
The gears are also strong enough to cope with out-of-balance cameras that weigh up to 50kg. The head is capable of moving the heaviest cameras with a feather-like touch and can even handle 3D-stereoscopic mirror rigs.
Another reason why the head is so popular is its ease of use. It comes with an operator friendly touchscreen control with an intuitive user interface that makes changing the settings, recording a move and playing it back a quick and painless task. The motion data can be recorded and used for post-production VFX.
Another strong point of the Lambda 2.0 is its modularity. A two-axis head can be effortlessly upgraded to a three-axis model with a 360˚ roll axis, allowing operators to perform quick and smooth start and stop shots, allowing very subtle slow dutch moves, all with lightning fast precision. The additional roll-axis is controlled by a 3rd hand wheel or joystick remotely located at the operating desk for ease of use.
Unlike some of its competitors, Lambda 2.0 has zero backlash. As a result, there is no ramping-up to overcome the backlash and, therefore, no latency. Now, integrated with the specially-designed gears from our L-40, it is reliable and robust, and can be used in extreme temperatures, enduring both in Siberia and the Sahara.

The Button Console features an elegant and simple to use interface, enabling Mo-Sys remote head settings to be adjusted on the fly, such as speed, feathering, smoothing, and soft stops.
PanBar is a fluid head, designed in collaboration with Cartoni. The mechanics and our high precision electronics make the PanBar an alternative solution for pan and tilt control.
Radio technology offers a wireless solution for operating our remote heads. As a simple cable replacement, with 8ms it has virtually no delay and offers almost instant responsiveness.
A two-axis head can be effortlessly upgraded to a three-axis model with a 360˚ roll axis.
The touchscreen console is a great addition to any of our heads or robotics, allowing the speed of tilt and pan to be adjusted.
The handwheel system is fully adjustable and goes in a travel box as one unit, which makes the set up quick and easy.
I can’t say enough about how much I and my customers, some of the most experienced Hollywood cinematographers, camera operators and camera assistants in the world like the Mo-Sys Lambda head.
