Focus 18 Fluid Head
Built of magnesium alloy and aluminum the Focus 18 Fluid Head is specifically designed for ENG digital camcorders weighing from 6 to 18 kg (13.2 to 40 lbs). Cartoni has employed the latest in design technology to offer a Fluid Head which is extremely rugged, lightweight and cost-effective. Focus 18 offers a host of advanced features including infinitely adjustable tension settings, Euro-style quick release camera plate and switchable illuminated bubble level. The award-winning, patented Fluid dampening system ensures consistent drag levels and smooth camera movements throughout the range.

Featuring an infinitely variable counterbalance with easily-readable numerical reference, the 18 provides excellent performances at any tilt angle from +90 to -70 degrees (-90 with sliding base plate). Focus 18 interfaces with all 100 mm bowl base tripods.

2-Stage Aluminum 100mm Smart Stop ENG Tripod

In just 3 moves of the patented Smart-Stop lever you can adjust the double stage legs in a moment and yet rely on a positive clamp at any desired operative height.

Made of high performance composite, the Smart Lock weight only 460 gr (1 lbs). A side button on each arm releases the 2 seconds, while the same retract by simply pushing them in. The spreader fits to any Cartoni DV and ENG tripod with a quick release hook.
