Cartoni Master 30

The Cartoni Master 30 is a fluid head for demanding 4K EFP, studio and OB rigs, with a payload from 3 to 40 kg. Its patented counterbalance keeps the camera balanced across the full ±90° tilt range, and the planetary fluid system ranges from almost freewheeling to a consistent maximum drag. Flat Mitchell base, digital readouts, 10.5 kg.

A compact head for 4K studio and OB

The Master 30 covers a wide range of broadcast applications. Super-precise starts and stops combined with flawless balance deliver a quality of movement you would not expect from such a compact head.

Patented planetary fluid system

Cartoni’s Planetary fluid drag works from almost freewheeling to a consistent maximum drag and delivers super-precise starts and stops. The patented counterbalance keeps the camera in balance at any tilt angle.

Large side-load plate

The large quick-release sliding plate loads from the side, so even a heavy camera is balanced quickly and safely.

Digital readouts

Drag and counterbalance settings are shown on digital readouts, and the spirit level is illuminated.

Ergonomic controls

Brake levers and operating knobs are within easy reach, and a horizontal lock secures the platform during camera changes.

Flat Mitchell base

The head mounts on flat-base tripods and pedestals; an optional adapter is available for 150 mm bowls.

Digital readouts and level

Digital displays show the pan, tilt and balance values, so you can repeat a setting exactly even in low light.

Sliding platform

The wide sliding platform with a scale lets you centre and balance the camera precisely, even with bulky accessories.

Payload versus centre of gravity

The chart shows how much camera weight the head’s counterbalance can balance depending on how high above the plate the centre of gravity of the rig sits. The higher the centre of gravity, the lower the payload the head can hold in balance.
