Cartoni MIXO 21 Fluid Head — Field-Ready Control in a Compact Form

Cartoni MIXO 21 Fluid Head — Field-Ready Control in a Compact Form

The Cartoni MIXO 21 fluid head brings Cartoni’s patented continuous counterbalance together with a classic 7-step fluid drag system. This blend of precision and tactile control enables operators to make fast, repeatable adjustments with no trial-and-error. Designed for the demands of modern field production—live sports, breaking news, or documentary filmmaking—the MIXO 21 is built to perform under pressure.

Every feature was crafted with working professionals in mind. Operators can shift seamlessly between feather-light pans and cinematic resistance, achieving the perfect balance for any rig or shooting style. With a tilt range of ±90° and a payload capacity from 3 to 21 kg (6.6–46.3 lb), the MIXO 21 adapts from lightweight run-and-gun setups to fully accessorized ENG cameras.

Cartoni Innovation in Compact Form

The MIXO 21 incorporates the same counterbalance technology trusted in Cartoni’s FOCUS and MASTER lines. Its hybrid design merges continuous counterbalance with a wide 7-step drag range, covering everything from fast-paced motion to smooth narrative pans. This gives operators top-tier performance and control at a more accessible value, bridging the gap between high-end and budget heads without compromise.
