Cartoni is debuting its new Master 30 Broadcast and Cine fluid heads at IBC.

The two new heads borrow features from Cartoni's Maxima fluid head — including its patented wing counterbalancing system and planetary drag mechanism — in a smaller, lighter configuration, the company said. The head supports payloads ranging between 51 and 88 lbs. depending on center of gravity.

The Master 30 heads have digital displays of counterbalance and pan-and-tilt settings plus a lit bubble level. The Master 30 Broadcast has dual telescopic pan bars, while the Master 30 Cine is configured with one telescopic pan bar and a shorter 90-degree pan bar.
