Are you ready?

With Ace, precision meets dedication. Achieve finesse in every shot with fast counterbalance, and smooth drag adjustments. Lightweight and compact, with consistent performance, Ace is along for the journey. From urban jungles to the call of the wild, be ready for every opportunity that comes your way.

With Ace in your corner, stability and smoothness comes with every shot. It simplifies your setup with camera plate markers, stepped counterbalance and quick pan and tilt adjustments. Ace XL supports camera rigs weighing up to 8kg (17.6lbs), with nine steps of balance to quickly match your payload. A 104mm (4.1in) balance plate sliding range helps position accessorised cameras centrally and Sachtler drag gives smooth movement in any temperature. Ace XL also includes an illuminated level bubble to keep things straight in any location and detachable threaded stud for when you want to swap to a slider. Weighing 5.5kg (12.1lbs), this Ace XL system is light in weight but not in features, so go further, climb higher and capture that winning shot unplanned or in the heat of the moment.

The System Ace XL flowtech75 GS includes the world’s fastest tripod, to revolutionise the way you work. The 2-stage carbon fibre flowtech® tripod has unique quick release brakes at the top which can be deployed and adjusted in an instant, and a versatile hinge lock mechanism that allows it to be deployed without a spreader for ultra-low and high shots. Its ergonomic design makes the tripod comfortable to carry, on your shoulder or with the carry handle. With three 3/8” accessory mounting points on the tripod bowl you can add something extra to your rig like a Magic Arm and when you are ready to move on, the legs are held together by a magnetic lock for transportation. The detachable ground spreader provides maximum stability wherever you are. And when the road is long, Ace comes with a carry case for protection on the go.

Ace is built to earn its place on your journey. Designed with precision-engineered drag segments and rigorously tested materials, consistent performance is a given. That’s why Sachtler is trusted by professionals like you. Whatever path you choose to travel, Ace is your support system.
