Eching, February 2010 – Bexel, a Vitec Group brand and leading broadcast equipment rental company based in Los Angeles, has ordered 36 Video 20 SB Systems from Sachtler, also a Vitec Group brand, for the Winter Games. Camera teams in Vancouver (12th-28th February) will be able to use this equipment to capture the sporting performances of the athletes at the Games.

The Sachtler fluid head Video 20 SB is ideally suited for electronic reporting: The head works perfectly within a wide temperature range of between -40°C to +60°C. It is also an attractive prospect due to its payload range of 7 to 25 kg, with a 12-stage counterbalance and 7+7 grade of drag. A fast and exact setting is guaranteed with Sachtler's proven speed balance technology.

Perfect for Outside Broadcast Teams

In addition to the fluid head, the Video 20 SB system contains the Speed Lock® CF HD (heavy duty) tripod, which is impressive due to its low dead weight, a double extendable quick fastener, as well as a transport length of only 75 cm. Furthermore, the package contains a mid-level spreader, rubber feet and an upholstered pocket.
