Cartoni, a veteran in professional camera support systems, is continuing to expand its e-heads (encoded fluid heads) technology as the company celebrates its 90th anniversary in the industry. Last year at NAB 2024, Cartoni unveiled its initial line of encoded fluid heads, becoming the first company to integrate position tracking technology in camera support products. These “E-Heads” incorporated high-precision absolute optical encoders directly on the rotation shaft, providing angular position data for production applications. What are Cartoni e-heads? This is what they announced last year: A full line of encoded fluid heads (e-heads) in various sizes for different applications Position tracking technology integrated into fluid heads, jibs, and the Lambda 25 nodal head The Cartoni VR Box featuring a specialized electronic interface for virtual engines The Lifto 25 motorized elevation column with enhanced PTZ capabilities A redesigned High Precision Pedestals series with a manual elevation second stage New accessories including a rail clamp support for bowl base heads and a Rosette Extender 90th anniversary celebration and future developments at NAB 2025 For the upcoming NAB 2025, Cartoni is preparing a special anniversary celebration highlighting its 90-year history in the industry. 90 years is an incredible number for an industry as technology-driven as ours.
