Cartoni Focus 22 Video Fluid Head

Smooth panning across a concert stage, a slow tilt from the anchor desk to the weather wall — every move a camera operator makes depends on the...
Italian engineering meets field-ready pragmatism in the Cartoni Focus 22 EFP 2-St CF System MS, a complete two-stage carbon fibre support package built around the HF2200 fluid head. Operators covering corporate events, ENG news gathering and EFP assignments get a rig that carries cinema cameras, ENG shoulder units, large broadcast zooms and accessory rails weighing roughly 3 to 22 kilograms, with steady balance across the full tilt arc.
At the core sits the Cartoni Focus 22 fluid head with its patented continuously adjustable "wing" counterbalance. Rather than stepped presets, the mechanism smoothly matches the exact centre of gravity of any payload — a genuine advantage when swapping between a Sony FX9 with matte box and a shoulder ENG camera on the same shoot. The labyrinth modular drag system provides independent, continuously variable pan and tilt damping, producing creamy whip-pans for sports coverage and feather-light focus pulls for interview close-ups. Tilt runs through ±90°, pan travels 360°, and an illuminated bubble level keeps horizons honest during dawn or night shoots.
The two-stage carbon fibre tripod cuts mass without surrendering torsional rigidity, so long telephoto lenses stay glued during rapid repositioning on red-carpet runs or sideline coverage. A mid-level spreader snaps securely onto uneven ground — staircases, church steps, rocky shorelines — while the rubber feet guard studio floors and polished stages. Side-load sliding plate acceptance speeds camera mounting between takes, the 100 mm bowl gives rapid levelling on any terrain, and the duty range stretches from -40 °C to +60 °C for Arctic documentary shoots or desert broadcast relays.
Hand-assembled at Cartoni's Rome facility, the Focus 22 EFP 2-St CF System MS ships inside a padded soft case with one pan handle and a five-year factory warranty. It is a dependable companion for wedding cinematographers, multi-camera live switching crews, wildlife operators and studio B-cam positions where silent moves and sub-second set-up decide the shot.
