The Sachtler aktiv10T FT100 GS Tripod System combines the highly efficient aktiv10T fluid head with the durable Flowtech 100 GS carbon fiber tripod and ground-level spreader, making it an ideal solution for professional filmmakers and videographers. This comprehensive system offers fast setup, stable support, and versatile shooting capabilities, with the added convenience of a padded carrying bag for secure storage and transport. The system is perfect for cameras weighing up to 66 lbs, and the robust design ensures reliable performance in both studio and on-location environments.
At the core of this system is the Sachtler aktiv10T Touch & Go fluid head. The fluid head incorporates Sachtler's innovative SpeedLevel technology, which allows for almost instant mounting and leveling of your camera rig. The clamp-and-stud SpeedLevel system eliminates the need for a traditional tie-down knob, saving you valuable time on set. The fluid head supports rigs up to 26.5 lbs and offers 15 levels of counterbalance adjustment, along with seven levels of pan and tilt drag, allowing you to fine-tune your shot with precision. Additionally, the zero settings for both balance and drag provide smooth, effortless movement for whip pans and fast tilts. A built-in PrismBubble level ensures you can easily level the head at any angle, with two levels of illumination that enhance visibility in low-light conditions. The sliding range of 4.7" on the Sideload Plate S allows for quick balancing, and the pan bar, which is detachable, can be mounted on either side of the head for added flexibility.
The Flowtech 100 GS Carbon Fiber Tripod is designed to support the aktiv10T fluid head and offers exceptional strength while remaining lightweight. The tripod features an innovative leg design that maximizes torsional stability, even under heavy loads, with a load capacity of up to 66 lbs. The carbon fiber construction ensures that the tripod is both sturdy and lightweight, making it easy to transport. The tripod's height range is from 10.24 inches to 60.24 inches without the spreader, and from 16.93 inches to 62.6 inches when the ground-level spreader is attached, providing ample height adjustment for various shooting angles. The ground-level spreader, which can be easily removed, ensures that the tripod legs remain evenly spaced, offering additional stability when shooting on smooth or rough surfaces. The legs also feature dual spiked feet, which can be covered with removable rubber feet for better grip on softer or delicate surfaces.
For convenience, the system comes with a rotating carry handle that allows for easy carrying of the tripod, even when the legs are fully extended. The handle rotates upwards, providing clear access to the tripod legs and enabling you to lay the tripod flat without interference. The Sachtler ENG Carrying Bag, included in the kit, provides an excellent solution for transporting your tripod system. Made from water-resistant Cordura nylon, the padded bag protects your equipment during transit and storage. The bag is designed to accommodate tripods with fluid heads up to 35" long and features both interlocking handles and an adjustable shoulder strap for comfortable carrying.
Overall, the Sachtler aktiv10T FT100 GS Tripod System delivers unmatched performance, stability, and flexibility, making it an essential tool for any professional shooting environment. Whether you're capturing high-angle shots or getting low to the ground, this tripod system ensures smooth, precise movement and quick adjustments for flawless footage every time.
