The Sachtler Video 20 SB is a fast, safe, and reliable fluid head. Its temperature-independent frictionless damping system with seven levels of drag plus zero enables operators to capture the most riveting scenes and events on video. Changing positions? Changing attitudes? In the heat of the moment, one can setup and follow the action smoothly, even with heavy cameras. Does your work require fast unplanned changes? No problem, the Video 20 SB can easily handle it, even with a maximum payload, thanks to the lightweight head and ergonomic operation controls.
- Frictionless fluid damping with 7 levels of drag
- A prerequisite for perfect shots is pan and tilt movements without jerks or vibrations. Sachtler's patented damping system takes everything in stride. The individual modules are nearly frictionless and contain no hydraulic oil, thus, completely leak proof. The damping action is identical across both horizontal and vertical planes and offers seven steps of drag for smooth moves in the most strenuous conditions. The operator may also completely disengage the drag for fast panning without affecting the dynamic counterbalance system.
- Twelve step dynamic counterbalancing system
- Using torsion springs the dynamic counterbalancing system compensates for torque as the camera tilts, preventing it from inadvertently tipping, and ensuring that it is stable at any angle (freeing the operator to concentrate fully on camerawork). You may adjust these springs individually and independently from the damping system; as such, they work silently and without maintenance.
- Sliding balance plate
- The balance plate has a 120 mm sliding range and allows the operator to compensate precisely for a variety of configuration weights, ensuring perfect balance across the horizontal plane.
- Pan/Tilt Locks
- Vibrationless vertical and horizontal disc brakes for maximum safety in fast-paced reporting situations.
- Bubble level
- Built-in illuminated bubble for horizontal leveling uses a conventional battery and ensures easy leveling even under unfavorable lighting conditions.
