Sachtler DV-6SB Fluid Head (75mm)- Supports 20 lbs (9 kg)
- No Longer Available
Frequently, a videographer's work requires the use of a variety of camcorders for different assignments. The Sachtler DV-6SB Fluid Head with 10-step counterbalance system is just the choice this situation. From ultralight Mini-DV cameras to full-sized broadcast ENG packages, the DV-6SB will support and balance with grace and ease.
- Frictionless Leak-Proof Fluid Damping
- Frictionless leak proof fluid damping with five level of drag, for perfect pictures while panning, without jerks and vibrations. Identical across both horizontal and vertical planes, and allows complete disengagement of drag for fast panning
- Quick Release
- Touch & Go quick release for quick set up without having to bother to screwing the camera to head and then having to unscrew it again. Also features a safety lock lever that prevents inadvertent disengagement of the camera latch
- Sliding Balance Plate
- Sliding camera mount and plate with a 2.4" (70mm) sliding range quickly provides perfect balance across the horizontal (tilt) plane
- Dynamic Counterbalancing System
- The ten-step dynamic counterbalancing system compensates progressively as the camera tilts, preventing it from inadvertently tipping over with catastrophic results

Comments about Sachtler DV-6SB Fluid Head:
We purchased this head to use with a Sony PMW-EX1 XDCAM camera. While a smaller head would have done the job, the DV6SB has additional weight capacity for accessories such as matte box, follow focus, prime lens adaptors, teleprompters, etc. Quality is at Sachtler's usually very high level. It's very easy to set the frictions on the head to achieve smooth camera moves. My only complaint about this head with our camera is, the sliding baseplate does not have enough fore/aft movement range to properly balance the EX-1. I understand that Sachtler has an optional plate available with more options for mounting the camera... I wish that they had included it at this price.
