Sachtler Video Fluid Head with Sachtler Speed-Lock CF Tripod Legs

The Sachtler Video 20 S1 is a professional fluid head designed for studio and field production with medium to heavy camera payloads. It features Sachtler’s Speedbalance® technology, providing rapid and precise counterbalance adjustment across multiple stepped settings to accommodate a wide range of camera configurations.

The head supports a payload capacity up to approximately 25 kg, making it suitable for fully built cinema camera rigs, broadcast cameras, and accessories such as matte boxes, follow-focus units, and onboard monitors. The Sachtler fluid damping system delivers smooth, vibration-free pan and tilt movement, with selectable drag settings for controlled camera motion.

The Video 20 S1 uses a 100 mm ball mount, enabling compatibility with heavy-duty professional tripods. It includes a sliding quick-release camera plate system for fine fore–aft balance adjustment. Pan and tilt locks provide secure camera positioning during setup and transport.

The mechanical design prioritizes reliability, repeatability, and long-term durability, making the head suitable for commercials, documentaries, studio productions, and narrative work where stable, precise camera movement is required.
