Sachtler Video 18 ENG 2 MCF - Video 18 S2 Fluid Head and ENG 2 CF Carbon Fiber Tripod and Mid-Level Spreader in Black Carrying Bag

The Sachtler Video 18 ENG 2 MCF Tripod System is a complete solution for professional video productions, featuring the Video 18 S2 Fluid Head, ENG 2 CF Carbon Fiber Tripod, Mid-Level Spreader, rubber feet, and a padded carrying bag. Designed to support camera rigs weighing from 4 to 48.5 lbs, this system is perfect for everything from lightweight DSLR setups to ENG and digital cinema cameras. The fluid head is packed with advanced features, including incremental counterbalance, precise drag control, and temperature resistance, ensuring optimal performance across a variety of shooting environments. The tripod, with its carbon fiber legs and mid-level spreader, provides solid stability and exceptional load capacity, making this system ideal for both studio and field use.

The Video 18 S2 Fluid Head delivers smooth, controlled movements, with a 16-step counterbalance system and seven steps of pan and tilt drag for fine-tuned adjustments. The head features a Touch & Go quick-release camera plate for fast camera mounting, along with parking positions for spare camera screws. With a 100mm bowl mount, the fluid head easily integrates with industry-standard tripods, jibs, and sliders. Both pan and tilt locks are independently adjustable, and the vertical tilt range extends from +90° to -70°, providing flexibility in camera positioning for various shooting angles.

The ENG 2 CF Carbon Fiber Tripod legs are engineered for maximum stability while remaining lightweight. Constructed from one-piece carbon fiber, the tripod is resistant to twisting and offers superior strength compared to traditional aluminum models. The tripod's height range, from 26.4 inches to 66.1 inches, accommodates various shooting heights and angles, while the mid-level spreader ensures the tripod's legs are evenly spaced, improving stability during setup and operation. With a load capacity of 88.18 lbs, this tripod can support large camera setups while maintaining solid and reliable performance.

The included mid-level spreader is designed to keep the tripod legs at an equal distance, allowing for rapid setup and takedown. The spreader attaches to the tripod's center bracket and features telescopic arms that adjust without detaching, ensuring fast and efficient leg extension. Additionally, the set of three rubber feet can be used on slippery or delicate surfaces, providing extra stability when spiked feet are not ideal. The system is easily transported in the Sachtler ENG 2 padded carrying bag, made of durable, water-resistant Cordura nylon, with comfortable handles and an adjustable shoulder strap.
