Designed to support cameras weighing from 10 Kg (22 lbs) to 40 Kg (88 lbs) the CARTONI SIGMA combines a wide range of counterbalance capabilities with an outstanding fluid damping system.
The frictionless variable fluid modules perform a variety of continuous fluid drag allowing smooth and precise movements in any shooting situation. The new patented counterbalance system supports a wide range of payloads at any angle throughout the +/- 90° tilt angle. All operating knobs and levers are conveniently located and easy to reach with a special care for ergonomics. The centering of the sliding camera plate is easily achieved movig a convenient knob which enables the fine tune movement of the camera slide.
The head comes equipped with two telescopic pan bars, illuminated spirit level and digital readouts for drag and counterbalance settings. In the 35/16MM Film version the head is supplied with one telescopic pan bar, one front small pan handle and the eye piece extension holder. The 150mm bowl base is available as an option.
