Cartoni Master 30 OB Fluid Head

The Master 30 fluid head covers a wide range of broadcast applications with a payload capacity from 3 kg to 40 kg

The Cartoni Master 30 OB is a professional fluid head specifically configured for outside broadcast applications, delivering precise camera control and reliable performance under demanding production conditions. Designed to support heavy broadcast camera setups, it provides smooth and consistent pan and tilt movement essential for live television, sports, and event coverage.

The fluid damping system offers continuous drag adjustment on both pan and tilt axes, allowing operators to fine-tune movement resistance according to shooting requirements. This ensures controlled starts and stops, enabling accurate framing even with long focal lengths and large camera rigs. The continuously adjustable counterbalance system allows precise balancing of different payloads, maintaining stability throughout the tilt range.

Built for OB environments, the Master 30 OB features a flat base design compatible with a wide range of pedestals, tripods, and broadcast support systems. Its robust construction is engineered for reliability and durability in intensive field use. The head supports payloads of up to 30 kg, making it suitable for fully equipped broadcast cameras and accessories.

Operational features include a sliding quick release camera plate for fast setup and adjustment, illuminated spirit level for accurate leveling in low-light conditions, and ergonomic controls designed for efficient handling during live production. The Master 30 OB meets the requirements of professional operators working in outside broadcast, studio production, and high-end video environments.
