The Sachtler Ace XL AL GS MK II is a highly versatile and robust tripod system designed for filmmakers who require exceptional support for mid-sized camera rigs. This system combines the precision-engineered Ace XL MK II Fluid Head, the 75/2 AL MK II Aluminum Tripod, and the GS SP 75 Ground-Level Spreader, providing excellent stability and performance in various professional environments. With a 17.6 lb load capacity, this system is perfect for ultra-light camcorders, DSLRs, and mirrorless camera builds, offering an optimal solution for both studio and location shoots. The included carry handle and padded carrying bag ensure easy transport of the entire system to the set.

The Ace XL MK II Fluid Head is designed to deliver smooth and precise pan and tilt movements for cine-style cameras. Its 9-step counterbalance system allows you to fine-tune your camera setup for optimal balance, while the 3-step pan/tilt drag enables smooth motion control during shots. The fluid head features a tilt range of +90° to -75°, providing the flexibility needed for both high and low-angle shots. The quick-release slide-in balancing plate with a 4.1" adjustment range makes it easy to mount your camera, ensuring rapid rigging with minimal effort. The head also features an illuminated bubble level for perfect alignment, and a detachable pan bar adds flexibility for both left- and right-handed users.

The 75/2 AL MK II Aluminum Tripod offers excellent support for your camera setup with its two-stage aluminum design, capable of supporting up to 44.1 lbs. It provides a height range of 16.93" to 62.2" with the ground-level spreader, or 24.8" to 60.6" with the mid-level spreader (sold separately), allowing you to adjust for various shooting scenarios. The 75mm bowl and three 3/8"-16 mounting threads provide compatibility with a variety of fluid heads, and the tripod's sturdy aluminum construction ensures long-lasting durability in a range of professional settings. The included carry handle makes it easy to transport the tripod, ensuring convenience and efficiency during production.

For added stability, the GS SP 75 Ground-Level Spreader ensures that the tripod legs remain evenly spaced, even on level surfaces such as studios, city streets, or sports fields. The spreader's telescopic arms allow for quick adjustments, helping to maintain proper leg extension for optimal tripod positioning. The rubber feet, included as a set of three, provide excellent traction on various surfaces, ensuring steady support on different terrains. The padded carrying bag ensures all components are safely stored and transported, while the carry handle enables convenient portability from one location to another.
