Cartoni MIXO 21 Fluid Head

The Cartoni MIXO 21 is a compact fluid head with a 100 mm bowl that combines Cartoni’s patented continuous counterbalance with a 7-step fluid drag. It balances rigs up to 21 kg, from a light run-and-gun camera to a fully accessorised ENG camera, and offers 360° pan and ±90° tilt. The head weighs just 3.6 kg and is made in Italy. Five-year warranty after registration.

Instant settings, no trial and error

The MIXO 21 is engineered for real-world shooting – from the high-speed demands of live sport and the unpredictability of breaking news to the precision of documentary work. Every feature is built with operators in mind: smooth tilts, feather-light or cinematic resistance and instant adaptability in the field.

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.
