The Focus 22 Fluid Head is not only sturdy and durable but also lightweight, weighing only 3.9 kg (8.6 lbs) thanks to the extensive use of lightweight magnesium alloys.

A side button on each arm allows for quick release, while the spreader can be retracted by simply pushing them in. The spreader fits any Cartoni DV and ENG tripod with a quick release hook, and a practical strap fixed to the center ring of the spreader and to the tripod base speeds the folding of the system by one single move.
