Solid Tripod for the Price

Currently using a Canon GL2, which is a joke on this tripod. We got this model in preparation for a camera upgrade, which will be far more substantial. I have no doubts about the capability of the Sachtler 1011 to be able to easily hold a far greater load than we are giving it now. The head is very smooth, the adjustments are simple and easy to use, and the illuminated bubble level is a very nice touch. After a couple of weeks of use, I am quite pleased with the overall operation of the product.

The Sachtler Ace L GS CF Tripod System with Ground Spreader is a tripod system for payloads up to 13.2 pounds, making it suitable for both DSLR cameras and medium-sized camcorders. The Ace L system provides professional-level performance in a versatile package weighing only 9 pounds. It features the Ace L fluid head, two-stage Ace 75/2 carbon fiber tripod legs, SP 75 On-Ground Tripod Spreader and a carry bag.

Constructed from fiberglass reinforced composite material, the Ace L fluid head is strong and lightweight at only 3.7 pounds. A 7-step counterbalance allows you to quickly and precisely balance your camera for stable and smooth operation. The patented SA-drag provides three horizontal and three vertical grades for consistent and repeatable drag. The head has a tilt range of +90deg. to -75deg. An Ace quick-release plate is included and has a 1/4" screw and pin for attaching to your camera. Spare 1/4" and 3/8" camera screws are stored within the plate.

The Ace L fluid head attaches to the Ace 75/2 CF via a 75mm bowl attachment for professional stability and leveling. The legs feature a two-stage design with carbon fiber construction. The SP 75 ground spreader provides added stability when shooting on a level surface, such as a studio and attaches directly to the feet of the tripod legs. The entire system provides a height range of 22.4 to 68.1".
