Featuring the 100mm Focus 18 Fluid Head , this Cartoni Kit is intended for users who shoot with loads between 13.2 to 40 lb and who need a lightweight system. The Focus 18 provides perfect balance along its entire +/-90� tilt range, and features continuous counterbalance adjustment.

The kit also includes the H601 Heavy-Duty Aluminum Single-Stage Tripod Legs, which feature 27 - 57" height adjustment and non-slip flip clamps; a mid-level spreader; hooking rubber feet; a second pan bar; and a soft carry case with a 1/2" foam interior, leather handles, shoulder strap, and two exterior pockets. (The first pan bar is included with the Focus 18 Fluid Head.) Everything is designed, manufactured, and assembled at the Cartoni factory in Rome, Italy. The Focus 18 Fluid Head comes with the peace-of-mind of a five-year warranty, and all the other items retain their standard one-year warranty.

The Focus 18 consists of 127 parts, machined or cast to micrometric precision and hand-assembled and adjusted to precision by one engineer at a time. A follow-up to the Cartoni Focus HD head and an evolution of the original Focus head, the Focus 18 incorporates the Sachtler Touch-and-Go 16 plate system, which is found on Sachtler's FSB and Video series heads, and integrates a new composite material in many parts that allows for a solid build while keeping the weight down. Of course, it also features Cartoni's renowned counterbalance and very smooth, "true" fluid drag. The Focus 18 uses the same patented Delta silicon wedge counterbalance system used in Cartoni's successful Delta head. The Touch-and-Go 16 plate system will allow you to efficiently move your camera between compatible heads in a studio setting, and will also future-proof your head for such possible uses.

The new composite material that's used is a sophisticated non-metal that's much stronger than aluminum, and yet lighter. It is used in the tilt fluid knobs, pan fluid gears, and other parts throughout the body. This composite is also highly resistant to the stress of weight, bending, rubbing, and extreme temperatures, so where it's used in the mechanisms of the head it actually provides for more stress endurance, in addition to saving weight. This composite is the result of a collaboration between Cartoni and the Department of Physics and Engineering at Sapienza University of Rome.

The Focus 18 features a Cartoni-patented labyrinth modular fluid drag system, which consists of individual pan and tilt modules. Each module contains two main sections that have thin concentric rings inside them. The rings in one section interact with the rings in the other, with aerospace industry silicon paste fluid between them that provides resistance. The two sections are never fully disengaged from one another, so movement is always smooth and with no play. With there being separate pan and tilt modules, pan drag and tilt drag are accordingly independent, yet work together to allow smooth, uninterrupted motion in any direction. Cartoni performs a laser-assisted, diagonal movement test on every head to ensure that there isn't even the slightest digression from a straight-line movement.

The pan drag control is a large ring in the center of the head that's easy to use even without looking. This and all other controls are designed with ergonomic grips that will feel secure between your fingers. There is also an illuminated bubble level that will be very helpful in dark settings.

Strong scent, strong protection
Style: Italian Bergamot, Size: 2.65 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using Cremo Deodorant for Men with the 48‑hour sweat and odor protection, and it does a genuinely good job of keeping me dry and fresh through a normal workday and into the evening. The formula goes on smoothly without tugging, feels comfortable on the skin, and I haven’t noticed irritation or marks on my shirts, which is a big plus if you wear darker colors. The scent is classic Cremo: richer and more layered than a typical drugstore stick, so you get a more “cologne‑like” vibe rather than a basic soapy smell. In terms of performance, it holds up really well for office, errands, and casual activity, and you only really start to notice it fading after a long, hot day or heavier workouts. If you run very hot or do intense outdoor work, you might want to reapply or pair it with a body spray, but for most day‑to‑day situations the protection is more than enough. Overall, if you like bolder, sophisticated scents and want something that feels a step up from basic antiperspirants without complicating your routine, this stick is easy to recommend.

Smells Incredible and Actually Works!
Style: Palo Santo, Size: 2.65 Ounce (Pack of 1)
’ve tried a lot of men’s deodorants over the years, but this one from Cremo — Palo Santo Antiperspirant & Deodorant — really stands out. The scent is next-level: smooth, woodsy, and just a little bit exotic without being overpowering. It smells high-end, almost like a cologne you’d pay good money for. Performance-wise, it absolutely delivers. I stay dry and fresh all day, even through long work hours and workouts. The 48-hour protection claim actually holds up — I’ve gone a full day and into the next morning without any trace of odor or stickiness. It also goes on smoothly, doesn’t leave white marks on dark shirts, and doesn’t have that waxy or powdery feel some antiperspirants do. The packaging feels premium too, which fits the Cremo brand. Bottom line: If you want a deodorant that smells incredible and actually performs like it says it will, this one’s worth every penny. Palo Santo is now my go-to scent — masculine, clean, and unique.

Pleasant scent, decent protection, fades by evening
Style: Vintage Suede, Size: 2.65 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The Vintage Suede scent is pleasant and professional - not overpowering. Provides decent odor protection through most of the workday, though I've noticed it starts to fade after about 6-7 hours during long shifts at the dealership. The 48-hour claim seems optimistic. Goes on smooth without leaving white residue on dark shirts, which is appreciated. For the price point, it's a solid everyday deodorant. Works well enough for office environment but might need reapplication for very active days or hot weather. Good value but not exceptional performance.

Better cologne type deodorant that's not as EXTREME as dramatic competitors.
Style: Palo Santo, Size: 2.65 Ounce (Pack of 1)
So far so good with this deodorant regarding how well it performs through a full day of light activity (morning yoga, playing with the dog, carrying kids around, etc.). The scent is light and I notice it periodically throughout the day, but it's light enough to not be overwhelming or smell like a strong cologne. The fragrance is very "Man Fireplace Candle" type scent, but in a good way that is perfect for its purpose. My biggest complaint is the deodorant is very malleable, almost putty-like, so it tends to get squished out the sides of the lid when open/closed daily, therefore making it messy. This is relatively avoidable by just winding down the wheel each time, but is "annoying" as opposed to just using and capping. It glides on smoothly and feels good on skin or "hairy pits". A little pricier, but it's worth it in my opinion. Will be purchasing again.

Officially my favorite and exclusive deodorant.
Style: Vintage Suede, Size: 2.65 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is the most amazing smelling deodorant I've ever used, and unique, too. Very smooth just like their shaving cream, and I haven't had any irritation. I've been complimented by a few people now on how good I smell.
