The Sachtler System 25 Vario 1-70 offers a comprehensive solution for professional videographers, combining the Video 25 Plus fluid head, the Vario Ped 1-70 pedestal, and a tripod dolly, all designed to provide excellent stability and smooth movement. Ideal for HD and widescreen cameras, this system supports camera rigs weighing up to 77 lbs and is perfect for both studio and outdoor setups. The system allows smooth height adjustments of up to 16 inches within the shot, powered by a manual pump system that can be easily operated by a single operator. The included pedestal allows for effortless position changes, while the dolly ensures smooth, secure movement over flat surfaces, making it an ideal solution for high-level camera work in both controlled and dynamic environments.

The Sachtler Video 25 Plus FB Fluid Head is designed to handle larger, heavier camera rigs, offering a 77 lb payload capacity. This fluid head features a seven-step, temperature-independent damping system that ensures smooth, precise pans and tilts. With 18 steps of counterbalance adjustment and seven steps of pan/tilt drag control, it provides the flexibility to fine-tune your camera movements for a variety of shooting conditions. The head's tilt range of +90° to -75° gives you the ability to capture wide-angle shots, and the Touch & Go quick-release plate ensures fast and easy camera mounting and removal. An illuminated bubble level provides easy leveling, even in low-light environments, and the fluid head's base mount is a 150 mm half ball, compatible with Sachtler tripods and pedestals. The head also features independent pan and tilt locks for added stability during use.

The Sachtler Vario Ped 1-70 pedestal is built for stability and ease of use, offering a load capacity of 154.3 lbs. With an adjustable height range from 26.8 to 58.1 inches, it provides smooth and precise vertical adjustments for capturing shots at various angles. The pedestal includes a manual pump that allows for quick and easy height adjustments, making it an excellent choice for field work where power sources may be limited. The pedestal also features a unique steering ring for smooth dolly and crab movement, providing flexibility and control for precise camera placement. The 5-inch wheels come equipped with cable guards, helping to prevent accidental tripping over cables during operation. This pedestal system's compact design makes it ideal for moving in and out of tight spaces, including through doorways, while its durability ensures safe and stable operation in demanding environments.

The system also includes a tripod dolly that facilitates easy movement of the pedestal over smooth surfaces, allowing the operator to glide the setup into place and lock it securely when needed. The dolly's wheels are designed to lock in place, preventing any unwanted movement during the shot, and its cable guards help protect the cables from damage while ensuring smooth rolling. The included manual pump for the pedestal system allows you to fine-tune the air pressure for consistent performance, while the pressure gauge ensures you have full control over the system's height adjustments.

Designed for high-level productions, the Sachtler System 25 Vario 1-70 is a versatile, stable, and highly adjustable solution for capturing smooth camera movements in a variety of environments, from studio setups to dynamic on-location shoots.
