Sachtler 1006 DV-10 SB - Cabeça Hidráulica

Comments about Sachtler 1006 DV-10 SB Fluid Head:

It's a real privilege to work with such a nice piece of equipment. This head is exactly what has been missing from my kit . . .I should had bought it sooner. It does indeed extend our ability to capture great video. Aspiration for graceful starts, responsive tracking of quick movement, and stable stops are (at last) all within the grasp of my most fleeting impulse - with almost no distraction whatsoever from this piece of hardware. For the most part, it simply melts into the background and does a superb job helping capture fantastic shots. Set-up is blazingly fast and easy. Very lightweight for the task it performs.

One possible improvement would be to offer more dial-in at the lowest SpeedBalance settings (perhaps half steps) for light-weight configurations. I suppose nothing is perfect, but this thing is close. Thanks Sachtler!

The DV-10 tripod head from Sachtler is very smooth and easy to work with. The "click-stop" drag adjustments are great for getting the drag set quickly and consistently.
Once you get it set for a particular camera, it's easy to set up the same way, no matter how many setups you do in a day. With this head there is less time spent messing around with getting the head set right and more time on getting the shot set right.
The counterbalance works well and the ball mount in solid and stable.
If I could change anything it would be to add 2 or 3 more settings on the drags and counterbalance, just to give it finer adjustment, but that's a very nitpicky request.

Best fluid head in its class. Smooth pan and tilts with enough drag for long-lens work. Strong counter-balance and the head supports weights well pass its recommended weight of 24lbs.

Performs well in cold or hot weather (viscosity of the fluid unaffected by temperature), and is the perfect head for DSLR rigs/and set-ups. Well worth the price and way better than any Manfrotto head I've used.

I recently upgraded to the DV-10SB from a FSB-6 fluid head. The DV-10SB performs beautifully with my DSLR video rigs. Though my cameras are small and light, the addition of many externals demand a larger tripod head. I also find the quick-release very handy with my DSLRs. For quick setups and tear-downs, this feature is a must. Great product, overall.
