`Sachtler is always an obvious choice for me; speed and stability are everything when it comes to camera work and you can trust the flowtech in any environment`
@scott_clarkson can depend on his flowtech and Ace XL system no matter where he is or what he needs to capture - including some of the biggest sporting events of the year.

"The ease of use was outstanding - quick to deploy, intuitive under pressure, and the aktiv head is genuinely a game changer in the field for me."
Isaak Schiller of @artlife.films used his flowtech aktiv8 system to go flat to the shore, documenting the Elders of Arnhem Land for the upcoming feature `Plastic Tsunami - Voices of the Pacific`.
"Despite working extensively in sandy coastal conditions, the mechanisms remained completely clean... working in those conditions every day is a real testament to the build quality."

"After using flowtech, you don`t want to go back to any other tripod system" – Flo Eckhardt, Pirate Movie Production
Extreme moments. Extreme conditions. Extremely fast gear.
Facing unforgiving -20°C temperatures in remote locations, Pirate Movie Production (@piratecrew) need agile, durable kit that won`t let them down. That`s why Sachtler is the only choice.
From icy peaks to deep snowy forests, their flowtech systems weathered every condition - all while keeping up with Burton`s snowboard team while filming `PAVED`. Read their story with the link in our bio.

Huge thank you to @olly_pemberton for sharing why his flowtech aktiv system is the perfect travel companion.
"For over a decade I’ve been lugging a lot of kit around in some really wild locations. After each shoot I return with a list of how to refine, tweak and adjust my equipment to make things as efficient as possible for the next. It was almost as if Sachtler had managed to peek at that list when they came out with the aktiv head flowtech system…
First of all it’s robust so you can really put it through its paces.
There’s also so much thought into the nitty gritty details. The quick release spigot system is so easy you end up just doing it for fun. Its flowtech legs are smooth in such a way that adjustments can be made without the squeak of doom scaring wildlife. I also love a ground shot angle and you can be down low in seconds. There’s even a tiny light on the spirit level saving you ruining your night vision when adjusting for night timelapses.
By far one of my favourite recent additions to my field kit." Olly Pemberton, Director/Cinematographer.
