Sachtler, a Vitec Group brand, announces the versatile new Combi Ped 1-40. This portable camera pedestal offers a full complement of features in a lightweight, agile and easy to steer unit. When paired with a Sachtler Video 25 Plus FB Fluid head, it accepts a 77 lb (35 kg) payload, enough to handle portable style cameras, even equipped with teleprompters.
 
The engineering team at Sachtler designed the Combi 1-40 pedestal with an air-filled column capable of providing a smooth, on-shot ped-up of a full 21 inches (54 cm), from 31 to 52 inches (79 to 133 cm) above the floor. The pedestal features a built-in pressure gauge, and can be filled from a compressor or provided hand pump.
     
Additionally, it provides true crab-steering, and can transit standard doorways with its tracking width of 27.5-inch (80cm). It conveniently features cable guards and four trim weights.
      
To transport, the Combi Ped 1-40 can be easily separated into its components, column, steering ring and dolly, without tools. Its shipping weight is 45 lbs (20 kg) without a case.
