With the Cartoni Third Axis for Lambda 25 you can achieve true nodal motion in three axes rather than just two. The Third Axis's built-in wheel adjusts the newly available roll axis. Perfect balance for complex camera moves, including Dutch angles, can be easily achieved using the included counterweights.

Q: 1. Following up on my last Q. I believe all Olympus (and Panasonic?) AF lenses are "focus by wire". Is it physically possible to manually focus such lenses when mounted on this adapter? I would think not. If not, there are very few MFT lenses that can be used with this adapter. Correct?

A: If the Micro Four Third mount lens you use uses focus-by-wire, I do not believe it would allow you to focus the lens using the FotodioX Lens Mount Adapter listed above as I believe electronic communication is required for adjusting focus-by-wire lenses. However, if you have a full manual-focus lens or if your lens uses mechanical coupling for focus purposes, then those should offer compatibility with the above lens mount adapter.

Q: 2. I have Miller style plates will it work? with this Cartoni Focus 8 or Focus 12

Q: 3. Can I manually focus an AF Olympus MFT lens with this adapter, or is it useless with anything other than fully manual lenses? I don't care so much about the aperture as I intend to shoot wide open all the time.

A: The adapter is manual focus only. Additionally, due to the smaller image circle of Micro Four Thirds lenses, vignetting will likely occur on both APS-C and full-frame format sensors.

Q: 5. Can I use this ball joint to support on one end my 48" GVM slider and the other end to my c-stand?

A: It would depend on the what is supporting the end with the Cartoni Ball Joint. The ball joint can support up to 44lb, which would thread into the 1/4" space on the GVM GP-120QD Motorized Carbon Fiber Video Slider (48"), B&H # GVGP120QD. It's important that the ball joint is properly supported since movement can cause a shift if not properly mounted.
