Sachtler System aktiv10T & flowtech 100 with Ground Spreader

For fast setup, breakdown, adjustment, and swapping the head from sticks to a slider or other platform, the Sachtler System aktiv10T & flowtech 100withGround Spreader provides you with an aktiv10T fluid head with Touch & Go plate, a set of flowtech 100 legs, a ground spreader, an attachment point, a carry handle, and a padded bag for carrying your tripod system. The aktiv10T head combines with the flowtech 100 legs to help you create smooth pans and tilts with cameras up to 35.3 lb, with a stable platform for close to the ground low-angle to fully extended high-angle shots. The attachment point allows you to mount accessories on the legs, while the padded bag keeps your gear together and protected during transport and storage.

Enjoy creating smooth pans and tilts while being able to quickly move your video head from tripod to tripod with the Sachtler aktiv10T Touch & Go Fluid Head with SpeedLevel & 7-Step Drag. Take advantage of the innovative SpeedLevel technology to provide almost instant mounting and leveling of your camera rig on almost any Sachtler 100mm bowl tripod. The clamp and stud SpeedLevel system saves precious time leveling your camera rig by eliminating the need to screw on a tie-down knob. Designed for larger DSLRs, mirrorless, and digital cine-style cameras, the aktiv10T supports rigs weighing 0 to 26.5 lb. This fluid head features 15 steps of counterbalance and seven steps of pan and tilt drag adjustment, plus zero settings for both balance and drag.

The SpeedLevel technology replaces the traditional head screw and tie-down design with a strong clamp built into the head bowl and a stud component that clamps onto your tripod bowl or other mounting platforms, such as a slider. Simply grasp the large lever on the head and pull it up to release the clamp, then press it down to lock your head in place. Partially lifting the lever allows you to quickly and easily level the head. The integrated PrismBubble level system is pressed once to illuminate the bubble level or twice to light up both the bubble level and the drag settings, a boon when working in darker environments. The bubble level also has a built-in prism, enabling you to easily level the head when the legs are set at a maximum height or an awkward angle.

Centered around a metal stud, the SpeedSwap base clamps onto almost any Sachtler 100mm bowl tripod or to the separately available slider base; additional bases can be purchased separately to fit a second tripod, dolly, or slider

The Touch & Go platform provides quick camera mounting with 2.4" of travel for balancing your rig, and both 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 camera screws

The Sachtler flowtech Carbon Fiber Tripod with Ground Spreader eschews the common single or double carbon fiber tube design and has redesigned the shape of the legs for improved torsional strength. The legs weigh 8.8 lb, yet they can support a payload of up to 66 lb and extend from a minimum height of 16.9" to a maximum height of 62.6" when using the included removable ground spreader. Each leg features a single clamping lever that locks and unlocks the sections.

Each leg extends or retracts independently from the other two, and when detached from the spreader, each leg can pivot without affecting the other legs, especially useful when working on rough or uneven terrain. You can remove the spreader completely and lock each leg in one of three positions, so you can work without a spreader if you wish. This enables you to spread the legs extremely wide for low shots while the tripod legs maintain their torsional stability. The dual spikes at the end of each leg provide extra grip when working on softer ground.

The design and construction of the legs provide tremendous torsional stability. In other words, the legs resist twisting when you pan the tripod head.
