Q: 8. Struggling to counterbalance a 6 to 8 pound camera setup (Sony z280) on the Focus 12. Any tips? I can't get the camera to hold position when tilted down or up. I have no problems balancing on a Focus 8. Thanks for you help.

A: The Cartoni Focus 12 Fluid Head (100mm) (B&H# CAHF1200) features a continuous counterbalance system that is designed to provide counterforce in all orientations so as to make it easy and smooth to return to a level position. It can still tilt, however, to a full +90 degrees or -90 degrees, so you should still be able to point in your desired direction. If you would like to reduce the effective counterforce then you'll want to add weight to your camera.
