CARTONI FOCUS 12 2-St SDS CF System MS

Move fast without sacrificing stability with the Focus 12 SDS Professional Tripod System, built for run-and-gun shooters, documentary filmmakers, and broadcast camera operators. Weighing remarkably little yet supporting rigs up to 12 kg (26 lbs), this lightweight tripod system is ideal for midweight digital cinema and ENG cameras, delivering premium support at a highly competitive price.

The Focus 12 fluid head combines patented counterbalance and fluid drag technologies for smooth, precise pans and tilts. With a ±90° tilt range, 100mm bowl mount, and illuminated bubble level, it ensures flawless operation in any environment. Designed for extreme conditions, it performs reliably from -40°C to +60°C. The Euro-style quick-release sliding plate allows for fast, efficient camera swaps on set or in the field.

Paired with the SDS 2-stage carbon-fiber tripod, this system delivers the industry’s fastest one-lever deployment. Backed by three patents, the Smart Lock spreader and unique no-bind mechanism enable ultra-low shooting angles while maintaining maximum stability — perfect for creative filmmaking in dynamic locations.

Lightweight, rugged, and field-ready, the Focus 12 SDS is a professional tripod solution designed to give you speed, reliability, and precision wherever your production takes you.
