Eching, October 2010 – The Cine 7+7 HD fluid head from Sachtler, a Vitec Group brand, is the only Sachtler fluid head in the 100mm field that offers typical cine features, such as a sideload clamp for the camera plate. Featuring a wide payload range of 2 to 22 kg (4 to 48 lbs), the fluid head allows the use of a variety of cameras: HD cameras, 16mm cameras and DSLR cameras. Because of its tight construction, the Cine 7+7 HD is one of the lightest heads of its type, making it well-suited to location work.

The new Cine 7+7 HD fluid head is equipped with a sideload clamp for the camera plate. The 150mm long sliding range of the camera plate offers the advantage of an easy, lateral loading of the fluid head with the pre-mounted camera set-up. Like on the successful Sachtler Cine 30 HD, the Cine 7+7 HD brake lever and pan bar are smartly constructed of composite material with different strengths to significantly minimize the risk of slipping, particularly during hectic productions. This feature implies an ideal grip for the cinematographer. The Cine 7+7 HD optionally offers a front pan bar.

Maximum versatility

With a payload of 2 to 22 kg (4 to 48 lbs), this fluid head is suitable for many (HD)V, HD and film production requirements. The 16-step counterbalance guarantees precise balancing of any camera system. Additionally, the payload can be switched between „High“ and „Low“ with the Boost Button. Seven each horizontal and vertical adjustable grades of drag (+0) ensure jerk-free tilts. With an extensive temperature range, this system is suitable for use in extreme climatic zones, from the Antarctic to the Sahara. „The Cine 7+7 HD offers cine features in the 100mm range. Thus, it is an attractive supplement to the 150mm heads when using DSLR and HD cameras as well as to digital cinematography“, says Barbara Jaumann, Product Manager for Sachtler.
