Details

The Sachtler FSB 6 MK II Fluid Head with Sideload Mechanism supports up to 8kgs of camera and accessories, and with its 15-steps of counterbalance adjustment, you can tune the head to work with the lightest of cameras. The head features a 75mm ball for quick leveling, and the independent drag adjustment and tilt locks permit you to adjust and move the head with precision to tune it to match the needs of your shot.

 

The head allows you to tilt forward so you can tilt straight down and tilt almost straight up as well. Pan and tilt have three independent drag settings, plus a zero setting for no drag at all. Borrowing from the aktiv system, the bubble level has been improved, not only is it illuminated, but now you can see the bubble level from the side, as well as when looking down on the head, for intuitive leveling from almost any position.

 

15-Step Counterbalance

The 15-step counterbalance settings let you adjust the head to neutralize the weight of cameras up to 8kgs, so the head remains in the position you set it and does not tilt forward of back because of the weight of your camera. This allows you to tune the head to match the weight of your cameras, allowing you to work equally well with extremely lightweight cameras as well as cameras weighing up to 8kgs. The zero setting provides you a completely free movement if you want.

 

Frictionless Leak-Proof Fluid Damping

Frictionless leak-proof fluid damping with 3 x levels of drag, for smooth pictures while panning, without jerks and vibrations. Identical across both horizontal and vertical planes, and allows complete disengagement of drag for fast panning

 

Quick Release
