The Sachtler FSB 18T Mk II is a 100 mm fluid head that combines classic Sachtler handling with higher capacity and modern refinements. With smooth movement, reliable balance, and lightweight design, it supports heavier rigs while staying portable enough for demanding fieldwork.
Engineered with precision materials, the FSB 18T Mk II is lightweight yet durable. At just 3.2 kg or 7.1 lbs, it carries easily while supporting payloads up to 18 kg or 39.7 lbs.
Fifteen counterbalance steps let you dial in precise balance for a wide range of setups. From compact cine rigs to full shoulder cameras, every configuration locks in fast and repeatable.
Seven pan and tilt drag levels keep your motion fluid and controlled. Whether you’re following unpredictable action or framing static shots, the resistance stays consistent at every speed.
Secure your camera with one hand. The Touch & Go platform lets you mount and remove rigs quickly, holding them firmly in a preset position so you’re always ready for the next take.
The illuminated PrismBubble is visible from any angle, giving you clear confirmation that your head is level, even in low light.
The traditional tie-down keeps the FSB 18T Mk II compatible with a range of tripods, Hot Pods, and pedestal systems, making it flexible across field and studio environments.
The FSB 18T Mk II integrates into several system configurations to suit different workflows.
The ENG aluminium version offers robust stability, while the ENG carbon fibre tripod reduces weight with superior torsional stiffness.
The flowtech100 system enables rapid setup with unique quick-release brakes and hinge lock for ultra-low or high shots.
The Hot Pod system elevates cameras above two meters with a pneumatic lift column, and the Pedestal C III system provides smooth studio moves with air column support and a dolly.
Each option is designed for fast deployment and dependable performance in its environment.
The Sachtler ENG carbon fiber tripod gives you optimal stability and reliable performance in every environment. Lightweight and twist-resistant, the carbon fiber design features a 100 mm bowl with tube diameter of 22 mm. Dual extension legs feature the Sachtler quick clamping system, to securely lock them in position. In this system an adjustable ground spreader and padded carrying bag complete the package.
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 compact and lightweight system is easy to pack and carry - and built to go wherever your work takes you, delivering performance under pressure.
