Elevate your professional broadcast and studio productions with the Cartoni Magnum Fluid Head, the flagship heavy-duty camera support designed for fully equipped OB and studio rigs. Supporting an impressive payload capacity of 30 to 130 kg (66 to 287 lbs), this fluid head delivers unmatched stability, smooth motion, and precise control, making it the ultimate choice for large-format cameras with boxed lenses, viewfinders, or teleprompters in demanding production environments.
Engineered for broadcast operators and production houses, the Magnum features Cartoni’s patented counterbalance system, ensuring perfect balance for cameras with high centers of gravity across a 130° tilt range. The advanced planetary fluid damping modules provide frictionless drag control, ranging from freewheeling to maximum resistance, delivering consistent performance across diverse shooting conditions and temperatures.
Designed for seamless operation, the Magnum includes ergonomic, continuously variable fluid control knobs on both sides, paired with a digital readout for precise monitoring of pan, tilt, and counterbalance settings. This ensures fast adjustments, even in low-light studios or on-location shoots. Additional features like dual pan and tilt brakes for single-handed operation, teleprompter tube mounts on the sliding platform, and compatibility with Mitchell flat tripods and standard 4-hole pedestals make it a versatile solution for professional broadcast workflows.
