The MAGNUM Pan & Tilt Head with an increased capacity of 90 kg is the CARTONI response to fully decked STUDIO and OB cameras. Its smooth Fluid Feel with no transition in tilting and reliable operation makes it ideal for long OB lens configuration and bulky camera accessories as talent monitors or spotlights.
Counterbalance is performed by CARTONI patented technology combining springs, steel cables and an automatic compression adjustment fitting any payload from 25 kg (55 lbs) to 90 kg (200 lbs) making the camera stop in perfect balance at any tilt angle +/- 65°.
A wide camera platform incorporating the standard wedge plate allows a quick and safe attachment of the camera and the micrometric sliding plate, operated by an accessible crank wheel, ensures the perfect centering of any configuration. The MAGNUM has a positive horizontal lock for safe set up.
The MAGNUM is powered by high performance continuous drag patented fluid modules to ensure a wide variety of drag intensity from an almost free-wheeling to maximum drag. This feature makes the MAGNUM the ideal support for fast moves or super precise long shots.
Digital readouts for Counterbalance and Pan & Tilt drag intensity plus the illuminated bubble level are conveniently positioned - as the Pan & Tilt brakes - on the rear for easy access with a single hand.
A transport handle is placed on the lower front, while the upper slide carries teleprompter bar attachments tapered holes. Compatible Vinten standard pan bar attachments are secured by marine stainless steel levers for maximum orientation variety and positive grip.
The MAGNUM can be attached to Mitchell mount tripods, pedestals and other flat base supports alternatively via a M12 threaded shaft knob, 4 bolt fixing system or 2 frac34;” castle-nut
