Featuring the relatively lightweight 100mm Focus 22 Fluid Head , which supports between 6.6 to 48.5 lb, this Cartoni Kit is intended for users who usually shoot with light loads and therefore need a lightweight head, but who sometimes need to add on a heavy lens or accessory. The Focus 22 provides perfect balance along its entire +/-90� tilt range, and features continuous counterbalance adjustment.

The kit also includes the H604 Heavy-Duty Dual-Stage Carbon Fiber Tripod Legs, which feature 19 - 60" height adjustment and non-slip flip clamps; a mid-level spreader; hooking rubber tripod feet; a second pan bar; and a soft carry case with a foam interior, leather handles, shoulder strap, and exterior pockets. (The first pan bar is included with the Focus 22 Fluid Head.) Everything is designed, manufactured, and assembled at the Cartoni factory in Rome, Italy. The Focus 22 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 22 consists of 127 parts, machined or cast to micro-metric 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 22 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 22 uses the same patented spring-loaded counterbalance system used in the original Focus 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 replaces the brass parts in the counterbalance and is also 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 22 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.

Grant Morrison continues his mastery
Batman and Robin Volume 2 continues the story of Dick as Batman, Damian as Robin, replacing Bruce Wayne in Gotham after the events of Final Crisis (no spoilers here, despite the age). The artwork is clever, everchanging in style, and intricate; I find new details almost every time I re-read, it has such depth. I wrote an absolutely glowing recommendation for Volume 1, and this deserves similar praise, as does Volume 3 and The Return of Bruce Wayne. Highly recommend the entire arc

YOU NEED TO OWN THIS BOOK!!!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
If you are a fan of Grant Morrison’s Batman, but already own other editions… or if you have never read this run before… or if you just love Batman… YOU NEED TO OWN THIS BOOK!!! It is the BEST way to read Grant Morrison’s Batman! This Deluxe sized book is nicely constructed with stitched binding and nice thick pages. The paper feels a slightly heavier stock and is slightly less glossy, than that of the previous hardcover editions. The color in this new omnibus also seems more vibrant as well. It has no new bonus content other than an introduction by Mike Marts. Tony Daniel’s variant covers for Batman #676-#683 are now at the back of the book along with Adam Kubert’s variant cover for Batman #655. Thankfully this omnibus not only collects all the issues from ‘Batman & Son’, ‘The Black Glove’ and ‘Batman RIP’ but they’ve now finally included an abridged version of issues #30 & #47 from the ’52’ series. The pages included focus on Bruce undergoing the Thögal ritual in the caves of Nanda Parbat. These events are later brought up by Tim Drake to Alfred in Batman #676 ‘Batman RIP’, and explain why Tim was concerned with Bruce’s state of mind. One of the BEST new inclusions (exclusive to this omnibus) are two brand new pages written and drawn by Chris Burnham. These new pages fill in events for ‘The Resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul’. The new pages are placed just after Batman #670 and another after Batman #671. This will save you from having to read a drawn out cross-over event, where only two of the issues were actually written by Morrison. Directly after ‘Batman RIP’ concludes there are two pages of excerpts from ‘Final Crises’ bracketing Batman issues #682 & #683 ‘Final Crisis: Last Rites’. These excerpts set up the events and give actual context as to what’s going on, rather than reading ‘Last Rites’ over and over trying to figure out what was going on like I had to. The second page of ‘Final Crisis’ excepts shows what happened to Batman, that set up the events for ‘Batman & Robin: Batman Reborn’ where….. (((((SPOILER!!!))))(((((SPOILER!!!))))(((((SPOILER!!!))))(((((SPOILER!!!)))) (((((SPOILER!!!)))) Dick Grayson takes over as Batman. (((((SPOILER!!!)))) (((((SPOILER!!!))))(((((SPOILER!!!))))(((((SPOILER!!!))))(((((SPOILER!!!)))) Sure this “spoiler” is many years old, but you always have to try to think of new readers. Grant Morrison’s Batman is not only one of my favorite Batman runs, but it’s also one of my ALL-TIME favorite comic runs as well. There are not many comic stories that I can read and re-read cover to cover. I have read this run numerous times, and can safely say that I have read it more than any other story. Sometimes I’ll even start another re-read after I’ve just finished. One of the many things I love about this run is Morrison’s voice for Batman. He can be intimidating. He's not someone you would want to mess with, but he's also very cool. He has a likable quality. He has heart. Personally I feel there are few writers that even come close to capturing Batman and supporting characters as well as he does, especially his voice for Alfred Pennyworth. Morrison's dialog between members of the Bat-family is a pure joy to read. It's fun spending time with them. I’m absolutely thrilled to add this omnibus to my Grant Morrison collection, and will be eagerly looking forward to the other volumes! As I’ve saiid before, if you are a Batman fan then you really do need to own this book! The story continues in

Grant Morrison and Batman Omnibus, You need to own this
Format: Hardcover
I never bought an Omnibus before, I could never decide which one to buy. I got this on my recommendations and it brings great stories like Batman & Son, Batman The Black Glove and Batman R.I.P. 3 phenomenal stories plus so much extra content. The guest stars are great from Damian starting as Robin, Tim Drake, Dick Grayson, Batman Inc, The great Bat-Mite, Ras Al Ghul, Talia, Bane, The Joker, Man-Bat, Alfred who steals the show as always, Gordon, The return of Batman of Zur-En-Arrh which if you know a little bit about the comics it's an amazing suit full of color and the way Grant makes it modern is awesome. The art is amazing, the writing is sharp, the cameos and call backs are incredible. The price is great for some much content. The best story of the 3, is Batman R.I.P.. just when you think Batman is down, he always comes back for more. Go and click add to cart and buy it, you won't regret it.
