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

The Sachtler Ace XL CF GS MK II is a professional tripod system designed for filmmakers who require reliable and stable support for mid-sized camera rigs. This system combines the precision of the Ace XL MK II Fluid Head with the lightweight strength of the 75/2 CF MK II Carbon Fiber Tripod and the stability of the GS SP 75 Ground-Level Spreader. With a load capacity of 17.6 lbs, it is perfect for supporting ultra-light camcorders, DSLR, and mirrorless camera configurations. Whether in the studio or on location, this system ensures smooth, precise movements and excellent stability for a variety of shooting conditions. The included carrying handle and padded carrying bag make it easy to transport the entire system from set to set.

The Ace XL MK II Fluid Head is designed to provide smooth, controlled pan and tilt movements. With a 17.6 lb load capacity, the head offers 9 incremental counterbalance settings and 3 steps of pan/tilt drag, allowing for highly precise control. The +90° to -75° tilt range ensures a broad range of shooting angles, while the quick-release slide-in balancing plate (with a 4.1" adjustment range) makes rigging your camera setup quick and easy. The head also features a detachable pan bar for added flexibility, an illuminated bubble level for precise setup, and a flat head base, allowing it to be mounted onto a slider for added versatility.

The 75/2 CF MK II Carbon Fiber Tripod provides superior stability and support for heavier camera setups, with a load capacity of 44.1 lbs. This two-stage carbon fiber tripod offers 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). The tripod's 75mm bowl and three 3/8"-16 mounting threads allow for easy attachment of fluid heads. Its carbon fiber construction offers the perfect balance of strength and light weight, making it easy to handle in demanding shooting conditions. The tripod is equipped with a carry handle for easier transport, ensuring that setup and takedown are as efficient as possible.

The included GS SP 75 Ground-Level Spreader ensures maximum stability by maintaining an equal leg distance, which helps to evenly distribute the weight across the tripod's legs. The spreader's adjustable telescopic arms allow for quick and easy setup, making it ideal for shooting on level surfaces such as studio floors, city streets, sports fields, or stadiums. The set also includes rubber feet that provide excellent traction on a variety of surfaces, making the system versatile enough for different environments. The padded carrying bag ensures the system is securely stored and transported, and the carry handle offers added convenience for moving the tripod to and from different locations.
