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 TV 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.
Sometimes perspective is the most important part of a shot, helping to better convey the underlying story. The HotPod Tripod with pneumatic column gives you a lot of height fast. At the touch of a button, its unique central locking system allows all three legs to be clamped or released at the same time. The pneumatic central column lifts cameras to a lens height of over 2m, ensuring you get the best view in the house. Changing position and packing up is made simple with the handle.
