Cartoni Launches Ragno Pod Tripod Riser And Operator Platform

News Image
Cartoni has launched its new Ragno Pod, a portable tripod riser and operator platform designed to reinvent classic craftsmanship for modern live events and filming environments.

Engineered for professional camera operators covering live events, news, sports, performances, and houses of worship, the Ragno Pod elevates the camera setup by over 629mm (two feet), providing a clear, unobstructed view above crowds and other obstacles.

Constructed from aviation-grade aluminium, the Ragno Pod combines light weight with exceptional strength and stability. It features a wide tripod footpath that supports all popular tripods equipped with floor or built-in spreaders and rubber feet.
Key design features focused on stability and quick setup include:
• Single Adjustable Leg: Allows for perfect levelling and operation on uneven surfaces.
• Patented Secure Locking Mechanism: Keeps the three legs firmly in place during operation.

The system offers an optional foldable standing platform that provides a spacious, anti-slip surface for operators.

Crucially, the platform is kept separate from the tripod base to minimise vibration transfer, ensuring steady, professional shots. For ease of transport, the platform attaches neatly to the Ragno Pod and fits easily into the included padded carrying case.

Cartoni stated that the Ragno Pod delivers uncompromising stability and effortless elevation, engineered with precision and crafted for performance.
