The Cartoni F103 Tripod System includes the Focus fluid head and the A303 carbon fiber tripod with a mid-level spreader.

The Focus fluid head is the ideal support for the latest DV camcorders weighing from 2.2 to 22 lb (1 to 10 Kg). Extremely compact and lightweight, the innovative Focus features a continuously variable fluid damping system on both pan and tilt movements and a unprecedented patented variable counterbalance which brings its range of use to cover all existing ENG and DV cameras. The extreme ruggedness and versatility together with an outstanding quality/price ratio make the Focus the best possible support for news operators and DV videographers alike.

Light weight and extreme stability with rapid deployment are the highlights of the A303 1-stage carbon fiber composite tripod with mid-level spreader. Height adjustment is achieved by a fast-action clamp with a safety lock to prevent accidental falls. The legs are terminated with round pivoting rubber feet, and a sturdy die-cast 100mm receiver makes setup quick and secure.

Take the studio into the field with the Cartoni Focus F103 tripod system. Enjoy perfect camera control and rapid deployment all in a light weight package with an unbeatable 5-year warranty.
