The Video 18 fluid head has been helping people get amazing results all over the world for decades. It can support a payload of up to 22 kg and is a perfect fit for a wide range of projects. This operational versatility is added to by 16-steps of counterbalance and seven steps of pan and tilt drag, which allows you to work intuitively safe in the knowledge that movement will always be smooth and seamless.

ENG and EFP crews will love the Touch & Go function for speedy mounting and removal of the camera, robust temperature resistance, position for spare camera screws and self-illuminating levelling bubble. The Sachtler Video 18 is designed to work as fast as you do.

Even when dealing with heavier payloads, you should never have to sacrfice stability and versatility. The Sachtler Speedlock Heavy-Duty Carbon Fibre Tripod gives you speed and simplicity. The tripod features a patented three-step clamping system that locks the tripod leg in place in seconds and allows you to make smooth and secure adjustments. The carbon fibre design gives you stability and twist resistance, while the clamping connection forms a third tube to further help you stay balanced.
