Cartoni Focus 8 Fluid Head
The lightweight Focus 8 Fluid Head from Cartoni is designed to support small rigs that weigh up to 18 lb. The Focus 8 features a fluid damping system, a 75mm ball base, a bubble level, and a telescoping pan bar, and it weighs only 4 lb.
The Focus 8 incorporates the same type of sliding quick release plate as on Sachtler Ace and Manfrotto video heads, and it features +/-90° tilt motion and 360° panning with individual pan and tilt locks.
