Sachtler aktiv10T Overview

Enjoy creating smooth pans and tilts while being able to quickly move your video head from tripod to tripod with the Sachtler aktiv10T Touch & Go Fluid Head with SpeedLevel & 7-Step Drag. Take advantage of the innovative SpeedLevel technology to provide almost instant mounting and leveling of your camera rig on almost any Sachtler 100mm bowl tripod. The clamp and stud SpeedLevel system saves precious time leveling your camera rig by eliminating the need to screw on a tie-down knob. Designed for larger DSLRs, mirrorless, and digital cine-style cameras, the aktiv10T supports rigs weighing 0 to 26.5 lb. This fluid head features 15 steps of counterbalance and seven steps of pan and tilt drag adjustment, plus zero settings for both balance and drag.

The SpeedLevel technology replaces the traditional head screw and tie-down design with a strong clamp built into the head bowl and a stud component that clamps onto your tripod bowl or other mounting platforms, such as a slider. Simply grasp the large lever on the head and pull it up to release the clamp, then press it down to lock your head in place. Partially lifting the lever allows you to quickly and easily level the head. The integrated PrismBubble level system is pressed once to illuminate the bubble level or twice to light up both the bubble level and the drag settings, a boon when working in darker environments. The bubble level also has a built-in prism, enabling you to easily level the head when the legs are set at a maximum height or an awkward angle.

Compatibility
The aktiv10T fluid head is compatible with all Sachtler 100mm bowl base tripod legs, except for the HotPod
Features
SpeedLevel Technology
Use the large integrated lever to quickly mount, level, and lock the head on your tripod or other base; lift up to release, lift partially to level, and press down to lock the head firmly in place

26.5 lb Capacity Fluid Head

15 steps of counterbalance and seven steps of pan and drag plus zero settings for free spins and tilts

Is the difference between the activ10 & 10T that the 10T is easier to mount but the 10 has better counterbalance? Anything else?
Asked by: Rick
The only difference between the Sachtler aktiv10T Touch & Go Fluid Head with SpeedLevel & 7-Step Drag (100mm) and the Sachtler aktiv10 Sideload Fluid Head with SpeedLevel & 7-Step Drag for Sachtler Tripods (100mm) is the different camera plate systems. The aktiv10T has Sachtler's Touch & Go quick release system while the aktiv 10 has a Sideload quick release system.
