Focus 10 2-St SDS ALU System

The Cartoni Focus 10 Smart Deployment System Tripod allows for quick setup and breakdown in any application with up to 24 lb loads. It combines the new Focus 10 fluid head with an aluminum Smart-Stop tripod and Smart-Lock mid-level spreader to provide a comprehensive smart deployment system. The system comes complete with removable rubber feet that attach to the spiked feet and with a soft carry case. The combined height range of the head and tripod together is 25 to 66.5". With all components made at the Cartoni factory in Italy, the Cartoni build quality and aesthetic are clearly evident in the design. The Cartoni Focus 10 is the latest addition to our popular Focus Family of heads. The Focus 10 is the ideal support for the latest broadcast and digital cine style cameras weighing up to 24 pounds. Designed and priced for camera operators who are on the go. Focus 10 features the Cartoni Side-Load Quick Release Sliding Plate, illuminated sprit level and easily identifiable red locking levers on pan & tilt and comes with a 5 year warranty. The new Focus 10 carries on the popular Cartoni Focus family tradition featuring a continuously variable fluid dampening system in both pan and tilt movements and an unprecedented patented variable counterbalance which is in tune with the requirements of today’s shooters. Smart-Stop technology consists of a single release lever at the top of each tripod leg. When you flip this lever open, both leg stages are released at once so that you can efficiently adjust them. Once you find the right length for them, the same lever locks both stages back in place. The lever works with a single flip that takes just an instant. The 2-stage aluminum tripod features a 100mm bowl base and 16/20mm diameter tubes with a double tube extension on the terminal stage. The mid-level spreader has a similar 2-stage deployment system with a "no-bind" mechanism for quick spread and collapse capability. A Smart-Lock side-button on each arm of the spreader instantly releases the two sections. The same button is pressed when you want to collapse the system. An included strap secures to the center ring of the spreader and at the same time to the tripod base. It helps collapse the spreader in sync with the tripod when you fold up the tripod. The spreader is made of high-performance composite material and weighs just 1 lb.
