Sachtler System Cine 7+7 flowtech100 GS

The Sachtler Cine 7+7 HD 1910 is a fluid head for film and video camcorders that features a 100mm ball for fast leveling without having to adjust the legs, and supports up to 48 lbs. This head provides two support ranges, 4.4 to 33 pounds for shooting with small and compact sized cameras, and 20 to 48.5 pounds for shooting with a medium sized cameras. The payload range is selected by using the payload boost button. The fluid head features 5.9″ of balance adjustment with the sliding balance plate, and it incorporates a sideload QR mechanism.

The head also features independent horizontal and vertical drag adjustment, with each axis having seven levels of drag, plus a zero setting for no drag. The fluid head also provides 16 counterbalance settings. The counterbalance and drag settings are stepped and not variable, which makes them accurate and repeateable. The built-in illuminated bubble level confirms that your fluid head is level, and features a replaceable battery.

The Sachtler flowtech 100 Carbon Fiber Tripod with Ground Spreader eschews the common single or double carbon fiber tube design; instead it has redesigned the shape of the legs for improved torsional strength. The legs weigh 8.8 pounds, yet they can support a payload of up to 66 pounds, and extend from a minimum height of 16.9″ to a maximum height of 62.6″ when using the included removable ground spreader. Each leg features a single clamping lever that locks and unlocks the sections.

Each leg extends or retracts independently from the other two, and when it is detached from the spreader each leg can pivot without affecting the other legs. This is especially useful when working on rough or uneven terrain. You can remove the spreader completely and lock each leg in one of three positions, so you can work without a spreader if you wish. This enables you to spread the legs extremely wide for low shots while the tripod legs maintain their torsional stability. The dual spikes at the end of each leg provide extra grip when working on softer ground.

The Carry Handle for flowtech 75/100mm Tripod from Vinten enables you to carry your lightweight flowtech tripod single-handedly. This handle mounts easily on one of the tripod’s accessory docks.

The Sachtler ENG 2 Padded Bag is a soft tripod bag designed to carry various Sachtler tripods with fluid heads up to 35″ long. The case is made from water-resistant Cordura nylon and can be carried by the interlocking handles or the attached, adjustable shoulder strap.
