The Sachtler Ace XL FT75 GS is a top-tier tripod system designed for cinematographers and videographers who need reliable, high-performance support for mid-sized camera rigs. This system pairs the Ace XL MK II Fluid Head with the Flowtech 75 GS Carbon Fiber Tripod and Ground-Level Spreader, creating a lightweight yet durable setup that offers superior stability and smooth camera movements. With a 17.6 lb load capacity, this system is perfect for supporting ultra-light camcorders, DSLR, and mirrorless cameras. The complete package also includes a carry handle and padded carrying bag for convenient transport to and from set.

The Ace XL MK II Fluid Head is built to offer smooth, precise pan and tilt movements, essential for achieving high-quality cinematic shots. With a load capacity of 17.6 lbs, the fluid head features 9 incremental steps for counterbalance adjustment and 3 steps for pan/tilt drag control. This combination provides maximum flexibility and control over the camera, allowing for seamless transitions and smooth camera operation. The fluid head offers a tilt range of +90° to -75°, giving you the versatility needed to capture both high-angle and low-angle shots. The quick-release slide-in balancing plate, which has a 4.1" adjustment range, makes balancing your rig a breeze. Additional features include an illuminated bubble level for precise alignment and a detachable pan bar for added versatility during operation.

The Flowtech 75 GS Carbon Fiber Tripod provides excellent strength and portability with its two-stage carbon fiber construction. The tripod can support up to 44 lbs, providing a sturdy foundation for even larger camera setups. It offers a height range of 10.24" to 60.24" without the spreader or 16.14" to 62.2" with the included ground-level spreader, allowing you to adjust to a variety of shooting conditions. The tripod features a 75mm bowl, and the legs are equipped with a lever lock mechanism for easy adjustments. Each leg is independent and can be adjusted for uneven terrain, allowing for precise control and flexibility. The dual spiked feet provide extra grip when working on soft or uneven ground, ensuring stability during shoots. The tripod also includes a carry handle for easy transportation and a padded carrying bag to protect the system during transit.

The included GS SP 75 Ground-Level Spreader ensures that the tripod remains stable on level surfaces such as studio floors, streets, sports fields, or stadiums. The spreader's telescopic arms allow for easy leg extension and adjustment, making setup and breakdown quick and efficient. It is perfect for maintaining a consistent leg distance when shooting in tight spaces or on uneven ground. The padded carrying bag makes it easy to store and transport the entire system, ensuring your equipment is protected wherever you go.
