Sachtler aktiv8 flowtech75 GS Tripod System

Sachtler aktiv8 flowtech75 GS Tripod System

The aktiv8 Flowtech75 GS Tripod System from Sachtler combines the advanced aktiv8 fluid head with a lightweight carbon fiber flowtech 75 GS tripod featuring a ground spreader. This comprehensive kit is designed for efficiency, offering SpeedSwap technology for quick adjustments, a sideload camera plate for easy setup, and robust support for camera rigs weighing up to 26.5 lb. Additionally, it includes a padded carrying bag for convenient transport.

aktiv8 Sideload Fluid Head Features

The aktiv8 Sideload Fluid Head incorporates Sachtler's innovative SpeedLevel technology, allowing for rapid mounting and leveling of your camera rig on 75mm tripod legs. This design eliminates the need for traditional tie-down knobs, significantly reducing setup time. With the capacity to support rigs up to 26.5 pounds, this fluid head offers 15 levels of counterbalance and seven levels of pan and tilt drag, including zero settings for both.

SpeedLevel Technology Advantages

SpeedLevel technology revolutionizes the mounting process by replacing conventional screws and tie-downs with a robust clamp integrated into the head bowl. This system allows for quick release and secure locking of the head with a simple lever mechanism, facilitating effortless leveling adjustments.

Compatibility and Versatility

When paired with a compatible flowtech tripod, the aktiv8 allows for flat leg spreading, enabling low-angle shots without the obstruction of a tie-down knob. Furthermore, it can be mounted directly onto a slider using a separately available aktiv system stud, enhancing its versatility across various filming setups.

Illuminated Leveling System

The PrismBubble level system enhances visibility in low-light conditions with a simple press. A single press activates the bubble level's illumination, while a double press lights up both the bubble level and drag settings, making it an essential tool for precise adjustments in darker environments. The integrated prism design allows for easier leveling, especially when the tripod legs are extended to maximum height or positioned at challenging angles.

Secure Camera Mounting

Easily mount your camera with the included Sideload Plate S, featuring a 1/4-20 camera screw and a locating pin to prevent any twisting. With a generous sliding range of 4.7 inches, this head quickly balances various rig configurations. Additionally, the Sachtler aktiv8 head includes a detachable pan bar that can be conveniently mounted on either side, providing flexibility and ease of use during shoots.
