Cartoni HF1800 Focus 18

The Cartoni Focus 18 is a 100mm fluid head that carries up to 46 pounds, sized for fully accessorized broadcast and cinema builds. Its infinitely variable counterbalance sets a precise balance point for any load rather than snapping to preset stages, and continuous fluid drag keeps pans and tilts fluid at any speed. The tilt range spans +90 to -70 degrees, and the head is rated across a -40 to +60 degree Celsius operating window.

A sliding camera plate with a Euro-style quick release system speeds mounting and balancing of heavy rigs, and the telescopic orientable pan bar places control where the operator wants it. An illuminated bubble level enables leveling in low light on any 100mm bowl tripod, and Cartoni backs the head with a five-year warranty after registration.
