Sachtler Pedestal C I - Flat Base Pedestal System with Dolly and 61.8-inch Maximum Height for 44-Pound Payloads in Black Finish

The Sachtler Pedestal C I System is a highly versatile and compact pedestal solution, ideal for both studio and on-location shoots. Unlike traditional tripods, the Pedestal C I incorporates a patented pneumatic column that allows for smooth and precise adjustments, providing a "floating on air" effect for your camera. This system is engineered to meet the needs of professional filmmakers and operators who require the stability of a pedestal with the portability and ease of a tripod.

The Pedestal C I supports a remarkable payload of up to 44 lbs (20 kg), over twice its own weight, making it perfect for a wide range of camera configurations, including cameras with lenses and prompters. The pneumatic column works on the principle of compressed air, acting as both a counterweight and shock absorber. This results in effortless and seamless adjustments during a shot, enabling smooth, precise control over camera positioning. With a simple manual adjustment of the air column, operators can fine-tune the pedestal to their desired height, achieving quick and accurate adjustments without mechanical interference.

When combined with the Dolly 75, the Pedestal C I becomes a lightweight yet stable pedestal system. Its compact design ensures portability, while the pneumatic lift column and flat base make it adaptable for both indoor and outdoor shoots. Whether you're in a studio or on location, the Pedestal C I offers an ideal solution for smooth, stable movement with the added benefit of easy transport and rapid setup. The system is compatible with various fluid heads, including the FSB series, DV 10, DV 12, Video 15, Video 18, and the Aktiv series, providing flexibility for different production needs.
