Quality for (H)DV-Users: The FSB 8. The sturdy and reliable FSB 8 completes Sachtler's FSB-Range of 75mm heads, extending the payload range to 19.8 lbs (9 kg), well suited for (H)DV camcorders in industrial, newsgathering and education applications. The FSB 8 provides a 10-stage counterbalance, as well as five steps of drag (plus 0) for both tilt and pan. The fluid head is engineered with Sachtler's well-known technology, including its patented counterbalance switch mechanism, Speedbalance and Sideload technology, which allows quick mounting and unmounting of the camcorder for on-the-go assignments.
