Able to handle DSLR setups weighing four pounds up to ENG and digital cinema cameras weighing 40 pounds, the Sachtler Video 18 S2 Fluid Head can fit into a wide range of video productions. Sixteen steps of counterbalance and seven steps of pan and tilt drag, along with locks for each axis, let you easily customize the response of the Video 18 S2 to fit your application, be it studio or field production.

The top of the Video 18 S2 head is dominated by a sliding balance platform which accepts Sachtler’s convenient Touch & Go quick release camera plate. Once the plate is secured, the entire platform adjusts to balance your camera setup. At the front of the platform, parking spaces for 1/4″-20, 3/8″-16, and registration pin screws are available for when they are not being used. Both sides of the head feature rosette mounts for panhandles. A right-side panhandle is included with the Video 18 S2. The base of the head terminates in a 100mm bowl mount for coupling with industry standard tripods, jibs, sliders, or other grip equipment that feature 100mm bowls.

The Dolly S dolly provides smooth and stable dolly action for all 100 and 150mm tripods (except Hot-Pod, DA-100/150 Short, OB-2000/M and Cine 2000 tripods). Features fast-action foot-operated brakes, adjustable cable guards and is fitted with track locks to provide tricycle steering. A collapsed length of only 26.0″ enhances portability, while the ergonomically designed carry handle is molded into the dolly’s reinforced centre bracket for optimum carriage strength.
