The fluid head has a payload capacity of 4 to 48.5 lb with support for DSLR setups, ENG, and digital cinema cameras. It offers sixteen steps of counterbalance and seven steps of pan and tilt drag, along with locks for each axis. The head is packed with features such as temperature resistance, a Touch & Go quick release camera plate, parking positions for spare camera screws, and an illuminated leveling bubble.
The fluid head attaches to the dual-stage tripod via a 100mm bowl interface. With the head attached, the tripod offers a height adjustment of 26.4 to 66.1" and collapses to 35". The mid-level spreader and rubber feet hold the tripod legs in position, providing rigidity and stability. The tripod system packs into the padded bag for easy transportation.
Able to handle DSLR setups weighing four pounds up to ENG and digital cinema cameras weighing 48.5 pounds, the Sachtler Video 18 S2 Fluid Head can fit into a wide range of video productions. Sixteen steps of counterbalance and seven steps of pan and tilt drag, along with locks for each axis, let you easily customize the response of the Video 18 S2 to fit your application, be it studio or field production.
The top of the Video 18 S2 head is dominated by a sliding balance platform that accepts Sachtler's convenient Touch & Go quick release camera plate. Once the plate is secured, the entire platform adjusts to balance your camera setup. At the front of the platform, parking spaces for 1/4"-20, 3/8"-16, and registration pin screws are available for when they are not being used. Both sides of the head feature rosette mounts for pan handles. A right-side pan handle is included with the Video 18 S2. The base of the head terminates in a 100mm bowl mount for coupling with industry-standard tripods, jibs, sliders, or other grip equipment that feature 100mm bowls.
The CF 100 ENG 2CF two stage tripod, provides maximum stability and carrying capacity.

It features a 100mm / 4" bowl, tube diameter of 22mm (0.87") and is fitted with the Sachtler quick clamping system, so you can securely - and visibly - lock the tripod.
The CF 100 ENG 2CF's double extension provides greater stability, allowing an extended height range with a payload of 88 lb., and with a weight of only 5.3-lb it's extremely lightweight, solid and stable.

It allows for rapid setup and pulldown by keeping tripod legs at an equal or preset distance relative to each other. It attaches to the center bracket of a tripod and its arms are telescopic to allow for the extension of a tripod leg without detaching the spreader.
