Hands on: Sachtler Ace L Appears at BVE and Cabsat

.

Sachtler, part of Vitec Videocom, is beginning the 2013 trade fair year at BVE in London (booth F02) and Cabsat in Dubai (booth D8-20). Making a live appearance will be the award-winning super lightweight Ace L carbon fiber tripod systems that were launched in the fall.

With a payload range of 0 to 6 kg (0 to 13.2 lbs), the new 75mm Ace L fluid head is not only perfect for video-enabled DSLR cameras and lightweight HDV camcorders but also for heavier set-ups with additional camera accessories. The fluid head with the patented SA drag™ damping system is available in three different system configurations. Two come with extremely lightweight carbon fiber tripods –  one with a mid-level spreader and the other with a ground spreader. The third version features the TT 75/2 CF telescopic tripod.

New Tripods for FSB Fluid Heads: ENG 75/2 D HD and TT 75/2 CF
In addition, Sachtler will also showcase the new ENG 75/2 D HD tripod. It is ideal for high payloads of up to 35 kg (77 lbs) and, for this reason, scores points with its high stability. The tried-and-tested fast-action clamping system from the 100mm range is now available in the 75mm range. It will also be available as a package with the FSB 6 and FSB 8 fluid heads. Likewise, the TT 75/2 CF telescopic tripod is available in combination with FSB 6 and 8. With a hands-on experience at the booth, visitors can see the diverse height range and the comfortable handling of this tripod.

Legendary Sachtler Classics: Video 18 and Video 20
The Video 18 S1 and Video 20 S1 fluid heads equipped with Sachtler Speedbalance technology are standard in the ENG/EFP industry, as they are robust and offer absolute dependability and reproducible settings. A fast set-up guarantees the equipment is ready to go. Both 100mm heads provide a 16-step counterbalance, which enables particularly fine settings, as well as a Boost Button for the convenient adaption of the payload range.
