It combines a wide range of counterbalance capabilies, performing

perfect balance at any lt angle with a new CARTONI Fluid drag system

based on a silicon lubricated fricon. The new drag ensures almost free-

wheeling at its minimum, up to a consistent drag for smooth and slow

movements with long focal lengths.

This rugged Head comes equipped with the standard Dovetail plate

on a large sliding plaorm. The micrometric movements of the slide are

operated by a handy crank placed under the slide plate.

All sengs are ergonomic and placed in the right posions. Pan Bars are

compable with the Vinten aachment. MASTER 65 comes equipped with

a digital readout for counterbalance reference and illuminated bubble level.

The MASTER 65 at base interfaces with Mitchel mount Tripods,

Pedestals and other supports via 4 bolts xing system, 2 ¾” castle-nut or a

M12 threaded central knob.
