perfect balance at any lt angle with a new CARTONI Fluid drag system
based on a silicon lubricated fricon. 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 plaorm. The micrometric movements of the slide are
operated by a handy crank placed under the slide plate.
All sengs are ergonomic and placed in the right posions. Pan Bars are
compable with the Vinten aachment. 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.
