Sachtler System FSB 8 Mk II 75/2 AL GS

Fast to work with and lightweight at only 5.72 lb, the Sachtler FSB 8 MK II Fluid Head with Sideload Mechanism supports up to 26.4 lb of camera and accessories, and with its 15-steps of counterbalance adjustment, you can tune the head to work with the lightest of cameras. The head features a 75mm ball for quick leveling, and the independent drag adjustment and tilt locks permit you to adjust and move the head with precision to tune it to match the needs of your shot.

The head allows you to tilt forward so you can tilt straight down and tilt almost straight up as well. Pan and tilt have seven independent drag settings, plus a zero setting for no drag at all. Borrowing from the aktiv system, the bubble level has been improved, not only is it illuminated, but now you can see the bubble level from the side, as well as when looking down on the head, for intuitive leveling from almost any position.

A solid and strong set of legs, the 2-stage Sachtler 75/2 Aluminum Tripod with 75mm bowl supports up to 44 lb and is well suited for camcorders and DSLRs to smaller digital cine cameras. This tripod does not include separately available spreaders or rubber feet. The legs feature a working height range of 16.6 to 61.8″ when using a ground spreader (not included), providing you with a range of shot heights without having to use specialty legs.

Each leg is independently adjustable in height and angle, allowing you to quickly rough in your position. The adjustments allow the tripod legs to work in oddly shaped spaces and remain stable on uneven surfaces. The lever locks are durable and lock the leg heights quickly and securely. The tripod legs can be used by themselves on soft ground or with optional rubber feet, a mid-level spreader, or a ground spreader.

The Sachtler SP 75 Ground Tripod Spreader fits all 75mm tripods except flowtech, Soom, and Ace M/MS, and it’s used when shooting on a level surface such as a studio, city street, office, sports field, or stadium. It allows for rapid setup and pull-down by keeping tripod legs at an equal or preset distance relative to each other. The SP 75 spreader attaches directly to the bottom of a tripod’s feet and its telescopic arms allow for the extension of the legs.

The Sachtler DV 75 S Padded Bag is a soft tripod bag designed to carry the Sachtler ENG 75/2 D tripod with various DV heads. The case can be carried by the interlocking handles or with the attached shoulder strap.
