Designed for heavy-duty cine-style rigs, the Maxima 5.0 Fluid Head from Cartoni features continuous counterbalance throughout its 180° tilt range. Together, the counterbalance and a continuous fluid drag system enable smooth diagonal shots and near-free spins. This flat Mitchell-based head supports loads up to 110 lb, and it has a large digital settings display and ergonomically placed knobs and levers.

The Maxima 5.0 head weighs 28.7 lb and comes with a cine-style sliding plate, a telescoping pan bar, and a short pan bar. The camera plate is compatible with ARRI, Sony, and OConnor sliding systems, and the Mitchell base can be used with an optional 150mm half ball base.
