Description:
The Sachtler System 18/1861 with Video 18 SB Fluid Head,
ENG 2D Tripod, Ground-Level Spreader, and ENG-2 Cover includes the Video 18
Fluid head with Speed Balance, the ENG 2 Dural Aluminum double extension tripod,
and the ENG 2 Cover. The Video 18 fluid head has a temperature-independent
frictionless damping system with five levels of drag, and ten counterbalance
levels, enabling operators to capture the most riveting scenes with the greatest
of ease in any setting. The ENG 2D two-stage tripod uses Dural aluminum leg
sections. It features a 100 mm bowl, and is fitted with fast-action leg locks. A
ground-level spreader completes the package by ensuring absolute stability
regardless of the working surface, and the ENG 2 Cover securely contains the
whole kit for transport.
Features:
- • Frictionless fluid damping with five levels of drag
- A prerequisite for perfect shots is pan and tilt movements without jerks or
vibrations. Sachtlers patented damping system takes everything in stride. The
individual modules are nearly frictionless and contain no hydraulic oil, thus,
completely leak proof. The damping action is identical across both horizontal
and vertical planes and offers five steps of drag for smooth moves in the most
strenuous conditions. The operator may also completely disengage the drag for
fast panning without affecting the dynamic counterbalance system.
- • Ten step dynamic counterbalancing system
- Using torsion springs the dynamic counterbalancing system compensates for
torque as the camera tilts, preventing it from inadvertently tipping, and
ensuring that it is stable at any angle (freeing the operator to concentrate
fully on camerawork). These springs you may adjust individually and
independently from the damping system; as such, they work silently and without
maintenance.
- • Sliding balance plate
- The sliding balance plate with a 4.7" (120 mm) sliding range allows the
operator to compensate precisely for a variety of configuration weights,
ensuring perfect balance across the horizontal plane.
- • Locks
- Vibration-less vertical and horizontal disc brakes for maximum safety in
fast-paced reporting situations.
- • Bubble level
- Built-in illuminated bubble for horizontal leveling uses a conventional
battery and ensures easy leveling even under unfavorable lighting conditions.
- • Fast-action leg locks
- Rapid, secure cam-based system locks tripod legs in seconds.
