Cartoni Focus 8 Fluid Head with 3-Section Aluminum Red Lock Tripod and Mid-Level SDS Smart Spreader

Because the Cartoni Focus 8 Red Lock System is expertly designed to support the latest broadcast and digital cine style cameras, it's the perfect choice for on-the-go camera operators. This system can comfortably handle equipment weighing up to 17.5 pounds, making it a versatile addition to any professional's gear.

The system is paired with the innovative Cartoni Red Lock Tripod and the SDS Smart Lock Mid-Level Spreader, both of which are designed to enhance stability and ease of use. The 75mm ball base Focus 8 integrates the same quick-release plate system found on the Sachtler Ace and Manfrotto video heads, ensuring compatibility and convenience.

For easy adjustments even in low light conditions, the Focus 8 features an illuminated spirit level. The red locking levers on pan & tilt are easily identifiable, making setup and adjustments a breeze.

The Focus 8 is a proud member of the popular Cartoni Focus family, featuring a continuously variable fluid dampening system in both pan and tilt movements. It also boasts a patented variable counterbalance system, designed to meet the demands of today's professional photographers and videographers.

The sleek Red Lock Tripod is designed with ergonomically designed distinguishable red locks levers and the patented SDS Mid-Level Smart Lock Spreader. This Smart Lock Spreader, previously exclusive to our SDS Tripod Series, extends with the simple press of a button and collapses just as easily.

The spreader features a bind-free ratcheting mechanism and folds neatly within the legs of the tripod. Thanks to its dual extendable sections, the spreader allows for the tripod legs to spread extremely wide while maintaining stability. This feature enables lower shots than would be possible with a traditional mid-level spreader, and it collapses in an instant without binding of the legs.

The Red Lock Tripod also includes a 100mm to 75mm adapter ring, adding to its versatility and convenience. With the Cartoni Focus 8 Red Lock System, you're investing in a sturdy, reliable, and high-quality tool for your photography and videography needs.
