About Sachtler 1861S2

Experience the unparalleled stability and versatility of the Video 18 S2 Fluid Head with ENG 2 D 3-Section Aluminum Tripod and Ground Spreader. This professional-grade equipment is the latest iteration of the highly acclaimed ENG series, now boasting an even greater payload capacity than ever before.

The Video 18 S2 Fluid Head, a mainstay in the toolkits of successful ENG camera operators for decades, offers a robust and reliable solution for your filming needs. Its superior drag mechanism, coupled with the innovative Speedbalance technology, ensures swift weight compensation and a broad payload range. This top-selling product is not just user-friendly, but also highly dependable.

Designed with the practicality of Sachtler features, the Video 18 S2 Fluid Head is resistant to temperature fluctuations, equipped with a Touch & Go plate, a parking position for spare camera screws, and an illuminated spirit level for precise alignment.

Complementing the fluid head is the ENG 2 D Aluminum Tripod. This dual extractible tripod serves as a sturdy alternative to EB-carbon fibre tripods. It features the Sachtler quick clamping system for rapid locking of the tripod legs, embodying the robust construction that Sachtler is renowned for.

The Ground Spreader, ideal for shooting on level ground or flat surfaces, facilitates rapid setup and pull down. Its in-set legs are ready for extension without detaching the spreader, thanks to the telescopic arms. This feature is compatible with all 100mm Bowl tripods, with the exception of the DA-100 short.

To protect and transport your equipment, the package includes the Sachtler Padded Bag ENG II. This soft tripod bag is designed to carry various Sachtler tripods with fluid heads up to 35 inches long. Carry it comfortably by the interlocking handles or use the attached shoulder strap for hands-free convenience.

In summary, the Video 18 S2 Fluid Head with ENG 2 D 3-Section Aluminum Tripod and Ground Spreader offers a comprehensive solution for professional videographers seeking reliability, versatility, and ease of use.
