About Cartoni Focus 8 Fluid Head System

Take your photography to the next level with the Focus 8 Fluid Head with 100mm 3-Section Aluminum Smart Stop Tripod and Smart Lock Mid-Level Spreader. This high-quality, sturdy system is designed to support ultra-lightweight cameras weighing up to 8kg (17.64 lbs), making it a versatile choice for both professional and amateur photographers.

The Focus 8 Fluid Head, assembled with a single handle, is incredibly compact yet offers a continuously variable fluid damping system on both pan and tilt movements. This feature, coupled with a patented variable counterbalance, ensures smooth, stable panning and tilting, covering the needs of all existing cameras. The fluid head is equipped with a sliding camera plate compatible with Sachtler ACE and Manfrotto standard plates, a spirit level, and an orientable pan bar. It offers a tilt angle of +/- 90 degrees, providing perfect response throughout the entire tilt range.

The 3-section aluminum Smart Stop Tripod, designed for quick setup, allows you to adjust the double stage legs in just three moves of the patented Smart-Stop lever. With a 100mm bowl base in aluminum tubing, built-in spreader, and pivoting rubber feet, this tripod offers extraordinary torsional rigidity, making it a reliable choice for ENG and documentary work.

The Smart Lock Mid-Level Spreader, part of the Cartoni SDS Smart Deployment Series, features a patented "no-bind" mechanism for quick spread and collapse capability. Made of high-performance composite, this spreader weighs only 460 grams (1 lb) and fits any Cartoni DV and ENG tripod with a quick release hook. A practical strap fixed to the center ring of the spreader and to the tripod base allows for the system to be folded in a single move.

This system also includes a soft bag for easy transport and storage. Whether you're shooting in the studio or on location, the Focus 8 Fluid Head with 100mm 3-Section Aluminum Smart Stop Tripod and Smart Lock Mid-Level Spreader offers the durability, flexibility, and stability you need to capture the perfect shot.
