Sachtler Ace M GS MK II - Ace M MK II Fluid Head with 75/2 AL MK II Aluminum Tripod and Ground-Level Spreader in Black Carrying Bag

The Sachtler Ace M GS MK II is a highly reliable and versatile tripod system that pairs the Ace M MK II Fluid Head with the 75/2 AL MK II Aluminum Tripod and the GS SP 75 Ground-Level Spreader. This system is designed to support ultra-light camcorders, DSLRs, and mirrorless camera builds, offering an impressive load capacity of 8.8 lbs. The combination of the robust 75/2 aluminum tripod and the precision-engineered Ace M fluid head ensures stability and smooth operation for filmmakers working in various environments, from studio shoots to outdoor settings.

With a total height range of 22.8" to 68.1", the Sachtler Ace M GS MK II provides flexibility for various shooting angles, thanks to its ground-level spreader, which maintains the tripod's stability while enabling quick setup and breakdown. The fluid head features 5-step counterbalance and 3-step pan/tilt drag controls, allowing for precise and intuitive camera movement, whether you're capturing sweeping panning shots or delicate tilt adjustments. The +90° to -75° tilt range further expands your framing options, making it perfect for creative shots in a wide range of cinematic applications.

The Ace M MK II Fluid Head comes with a slide-in balancing plate that offers a 1.4" adjustment range, simplifying the balancing process for quick rig setups. The tripod's 75mm bowl and three 3/8"-16 mounting threads make it compatible with a variety of fluid heads, ensuring versatility for different camera setups. For added convenience, the tripod includes a carry handle, making transportation easier on set or between locations. The system is completed with a durable black carrying bag to protect and transport all components securely.

The GS SP 75 Ground-Level Spreader is designed for use on level surfaces such as studio floors, sports fields, or stadiums, ensuring the tripod legs stay evenly spaced for optimal stability. This spreader features adjustable arms with a minimum length of 13" and a maximum length of 22.8", providing support for the tripod across a range of terrains. The GS SP 75 Spreader is essential for rapid setup and takedown, allowing filmmakers to focus more on their shots and less on adjusting the equipment.
