A great tripod with a brilliant design

This tripod just makes sense, finally a tripod that doesn't require each leg to be individually adjusted at each joining point! The fast release for the legs being towards the head of the tripod saves so much time for setups, it's extremely light for the size of it and how tall it can go, and it is extremely stable. The fluid head feels great and is extremely easy to use right out of the box.

So much VALUE in this tripod kit!

Such a game changer! This tripod makes setup so much easier all around. It's faster to setup, lighter to carry around, and most importantly it saves your back quite a bit of strain by having the hight adjustment leavers located at the top of the tripod legs. Thats not all though - the Ace XL head that comes with this kit is such a good head for the price! It actually handles way better than my Manfrotto 504 Head and its about half the size. The biggest difference being the counter balencing of the Ace XL and how conveniently placed all the function latches, buttons, and leavers are. The value perk of this kit though lies in the savings on the Ace XL head. You currently save about $320 on the Ace XL head when purchasing it in this kit. This Kit is currently listed at $1,938 for future reference.

If you're a videographer in search of a robust, high-performance tripod system, the Sachtler 1017MS System Ace XL fluid head with flowtech 75 tripod legs is your quintessential choice. Designed to support digital cine-style cameras weighing up to 17.64 lbs, this system is perfect for professionals using HDSLRs and compact camcorders seeking broadcast-style performance with the convenience of lightweight components.

The Ace XL fluid head is a marvel of engineering, featuring a fiberglass-reinforced composite construction that is not only lightweight at a mere 3.75 lbs but also incredibly sturdy and reliable. The precision of the Sachtler's Synchronized Actuated Drag (SA-drag) fluid drag system allows for smooth, jerk-free camera movements with three drag grades and a zero setting for no drag, ensuring that every pan and tilt is captured with impeccable control.

The two-stage flowtech 75 carbon fiber tripod legs are a testament to durability and versatility, weighing just 6.39 lbs and offering exceptional torsional stiffness. The unique quick release brakes enable instant and effortless deployment, while the ergonomic design and strong magnetic leg locks make transportation a breeze. The versatile hinge lock mechanism allows for an extensive range of shooting angles, from extremely low to high shots, providing unparalleled flexibility on set.

This system is not just about strength and versatility; it's also about precision and ease of use. The 75 mm ball ensures fast leveling, complemented by an illuminated bubble level built into the head for accurate setups. The Ace XL fluid head includes a counterbalance system with eight stepped settings, accommodating up to 17.64 lbs of counterbalance, and a panning range of 360 degrees and a tilt range of +90 to -75 degrees. The ACE 5.5" long camera balance plate facilitates 4.1" of sliding balance adjustment, allowing for optimal camera positioning.

The flowtech 75 tripod legs are equipped with a mid-level spreader and rubber feet, enhancing stability and adaptability across various terrains and shooting conditions. The system's extensive endurance and environmental testing guarantee superior performance and reliability, even in the most challenging scenarios.

Whether you're shooting with a Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro, Canon C200, C300 Mark 2, Panasonic GH5, Sony FS7, or the new Panasonic EVA1, the Ace XL tripod system is tailored to meet the demands of modern cinematography. With its lightweight design, professional-grade fluid head, and the world's fastest tripod legs, the Sachtler 1017MS System Ace XL with flowtech 75 is an indispensable tool for filmmakers who refuse to compromise on quality and efficiency.
