Sachtler FSB 8 75/2 CF GS MK II - FSB 8 MK II Fluid Head with 75/2 CF MK II Carbon Fiber Tripod and Ground-Level Spreader in Black Carrying Bag

The Sachtler FSB 8 75/2 CF GS MK II is a professional-grade tripod system designed for filmmakers and videographers who demand precision, stability, and flexibility. This system pairs the FSB 8 MK II fluid head with the 75/2 CF MK II carbon fiber tripod legs and a ground-level spreader, providing robust support for camera rigs up to 26.4 lbs. Ideal for DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and digital cine-style rigs, the system ensures smooth panning and tilting, while the ground spreader enhances stability across a variety of shooting environments. A padded carrying bag is included for convenient transport and storage, making it an essential tool for both on-location shoots and studio work.

The FSB 8 MK II fluid head is a versatile and high-performing head designed for seamless operation. Weighing just 5.72 lbs, this fluid head is engineered to support rigs weighing up to 26.4 lbs. It features Sachtler's Sideload mechanism, which allows for fast camera mounting and dismounting using the sliding balance plate with a 1/4"-20 screw and locating pin. The fluid head's 15-step counterbalance adjustment ensures precise tuning to match various camera configurations, making it suitable for cameras of different weights. For enhanced flexibility, the head includes seven independent drag settings for both pan and tilt, with a zero setting for no drag, providing ultimate control over your shots. The illuminated bubble level offers easy, accurate leveling from multiple angles, helping you achieve perfect positioning even in low-light conditions.

The 75/2 CF MK II carbon fiber tripod legs are designed to provide superior stability and support. These two-stage carbon fiber legs offer a 44.1 lbs load capacity, making them well-suited for the FSB 8 MK II fluid head and a range of camera rigs. The tripod legs feature a 75mm bowl mount and three 3/8"-16 mounting threads for attaching fluid heads or other accessories. The legs are designed for easy transport and quick setup, with independent leg spread that allows you to adjust the height and angle of each leg separately. The height range of the tripod spans from 16.93 inches to 62.2 inches with the ground-level spreader, offering flexibility in capturing shots from different perspectives. The tripod legs also include dual spiked feet for extra grip on soft ground, and removable rubber feet for use on hard or delicate surfaces.

The included Sachtler GS SP 75 Ground-Level Spreader ensures enhanced stability for the tripod by maintaining equal distance between the legs, even on uneven terrain. The spreader's telescoping arms allow for quick and easy adjustment, making it simple to adjust the tripod's footprint for a variety of shooting conditions. The spreader's durable plastic and rubber construction provides a secure and stable platform for your camera rig.

For ease of transport, the system comes with a padded carrying bag made of high-density 900D fabric. This bag is both flame retardant and water-resistant, offering excellent protection for your equipment during transit. The bag features a foam-padded interior that absorbs shock and protects your gear from bumps and impacts. The bag opens via a full-length zipper for easy access, and includes two straps for convenient carrying. Additionally, the bag has a clear plastic window that allows you to insert a name tag for easy identification while traveling.

With its combination of durable construction, precision engineering, and advanced features, the Sachtler FSB 8 75/2 CF GS MK II tripod system is an ideal choice for professionals seeking reliability and versatility in their camera support systems.
