We are happy that now have tripods and fluid heads from Italian manufacturer Cartoni in our portfolio.
To start off our new distribution, we want to introduce you to the Focus systems plus the extraordinary Lifto - a tripod system for PTZ cameras.
Focus Fluid Heads and Systems
Focus systems consist of a Focus fluid head plus one of three different tripods:
-
The Red Lock is Cartoni's entry-level tripod for camera operators on the go. Rugged and versatile, this 2-stage tripod comes with an aluminium construction and either a ground or a mid-level spreader.
-
The SDS tripod (Smart Deployment System) is the fastest one-lever tripod on the market. Its six telescopic tubes provide the SDS with an extraordinary torsional rigidity, ideal for ENG and documentary work. It comes with a mid-level spreader and is available either with an aluminium or carbon fiber construction.
-
Both the Red Lock and the SDStripods are compatible with the D833 Lightweight Dolly.
-
Stabilo is a 3-stage carbon fiber tripod ideal for documentary shooters and news reporters with lightweight cameras. Due to it not having a mid-level spreader, it has a lower minimum height than the other tripods.
The lower end of the Focus range consists of these fluid heads:
-
Focus 8 has a 75mm base, but can be adapted to 100mm tripods with an AT950 adapter. Its payload is 8 kg.
-
Focus 10 has a 100mm base, but can be adapted to the P20 pedestal with an AH869 adapter. Its payload is 8 kg.
-
Focus 12 has a 100mm base, but can be adapted to the P20 pedestal with an AH869 adapter. It has a higher payload of 12 kg.
Also, Focus heads are compatible with third-party tripods, e.g. those from Sachtler or Manfrotto.
