The new Cartonic Master 30 camera fluid head comes in two configurations: in broadcast and studio configuration with dual telescopic pan bars, and as Master 30 Cine for digital cinematography cameras.

Cartoni's wing counterbalance balances any camera payload from 0 to 30 kg throughout the entire +/- 90° range.

RED introduced the highly-anticipated RED EPIC-W and new WEAPON cameras. Each camera combines the compact and intuitive design of the DSMC2 form factor with RED’s latest sensor technology, HELIUM 8K S35. The HELIUM sensor maintains RED DRAGON’s reputation of delivering superior image quality and massive dynamic range, all while incorporating groundbreaking 8K resolution in an S35 frame. WEAPON 8K S35 reinforces that the WEAPON line is truly built for the best in the business. This new WEAPON option captures 8K Full Frame motion at 60 frames per second (fps) and ultra-detailed 35.4 megapixel stills. WEAPON 8K offers data speeds of up to 300MB/s and supports simultaneous REDCODE RAW capture with Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHD/HR. Additionally, WEAPON 8K S35 has an upgrade path to RED DRAGON 8K VV -- RED’s largest sensor. The EPIC-W 8K camera supports RED’s commitment to putting industry-leading cinema tools in the hands of many. EPIC-W captures 8K Full Frame motion at up to 30 fps and is also capable of simultaneous Apple ProRes or Avid DNxHD/HR recording.
