Working in the field calls for gear that is durable enough to go where you need it to, and versatile enough to do what you need it to. The Sachtler Video 20 S1 introduces an even wider payload range and an innovative, Speedbalance system for fast weight compensation. The wider range enables lightweight DSLR cameras to be used but it can also handle heavier ENG and EFP camcorders; switching between these payloads is made easy with the intuitive Boost Button.

EFP and ENG TV crews will love the excellent seven level drag properties, the Touch & Go function for speedy mounting and removal, robust temperature resistance, parking positions for spare camera screws and the self-illuminating bubble level. The Sachtler Video 20 S1 is designed to work as fast as you do.

Even when dealing with heavier payloads, you should never have to sacrifice stability and versatility. The Sachtler SpeedLock Heavy-Duty Carbon Fibre Tripod gives you same speed and simplicity, but with the added bonus of a maximum load of 95 kg. This makes it solution optimized for intense EFP and film productions.

The dual-extractible Sachtler Speed Lock CF HD is always ready for action.. It features a patented three-step clamping system that locks the tripod legs in place in seconds and allows you to make smooth and secure adjustments even with your camera mounted. The carbon fibre design gives you stability and twist resistance, while the clamping connection forms a third tube to further help you stay balanced. This stability doesn’t come at the expense of versatility, with a maximum height of 161 cm, a weight of 4.5 kg and a transport length of 75 cm.
