About Sachtler FSB 18T Mk II

The Sachtler FSB 18T Mk II Ped C III system combines a high-capacity fluid head with a versatile studio pedestal. It offers smooth movement, precise balance, and professional support for both field and studio production.

The FSB 18T Mk II provides 15 counterbalance steps. You can quickly match rigs up to 18 kg or 39.7 lbs, ensuring accurate balance for everything from lightweight cine cameras to full shoulder setups.

Sactler FSB System 18T Mk II Ped C III

Drag system

Seven pan and tilt drag levels give you reliable control. Smooth, repeatable resistance keeps your movements steady for tracking shots or static framing.

Touch & Go platform

Mount your camera quickly with the one-handed Touch & Go platform. The preset position holds rigs securely and saves time during setup.

PrismBubble

The illuminated PrismBubble makes it simple to confirm level at any angle, even in dim lighting.

Tie-down and pedestal mount

The traditional tie-down works with standard tripods, while an included adaptor allows secure mounting on the flat base of the C III pedestal.

C III pedestal design

The Pedestal C III combines stability with mobility. A manually adjustable tripod stage and a 42 cm or 16.5 in lift air column give you a wide height range, while the dolly lets you reposition smoothly across the studio floor. Setup and breakdown are fast, making the pedestal practical for dynamic production schedules.

Premium engineering

Lightweight at just 3.2 kg or 7.1 lbs, the FSB 18T Mk II fluid head pairs durability with portability. The C III pedestal is precision-built for studio reliability, yet easy to transport when needed.

The Pedestal C III is the ideal partner for flexible use in the studio or outside. Featuring a large height range with one manually adjusted tripod stage and one 42 cm (16.5 in) lift air column, the camera can be easily positioned, while the pedestal's dolly allows it to be moved silently across the floor. The pedestal is fast to assemble and disassembles easily for transportation.

Tough enough for the field, refined enough for the studio. FSB Mk II is engineered with premium materials and precision components for smooth operation in any environment. This pedestal system is easy to setup and position wherever your work takes you, delivering performance under pressure.
