Sachtler Video 25 Plus Fluid Head with EFP 2 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod and Mid-Level Spreader

While capturing the essence of professional videography, the Video 25 Plus Fluid Head with EFP 2 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod and Mid-Level Spreader stands out as a paragon of stability and precision. This robust system is engineered to support a substantial payload, accommodating a wide array of cameras and equipment weighing between 50.1 to 70 lbs. The Video 25 Plus Fluid Head itself showcases an 18-step counterbalance, meticulously adjustable in 9 stages with the renowned dial system, ensuring the perfect balance for your camera setup. The fine-tuning of the counterbalance is further refined by a half-step function, offering operators the ability to engage or disengage this feature based on their specific needs.

The fluid head's 7-step damping system echoes the exceptional performance of the acclaimed Video 20 Plus system, delivering smooth, controlled movements that are essential for capturing high-quality footage. The innovative self-illuminating Touch Bubble, powered by standard batteries, provides users with an invaluable tool for leveling the camera swiftly and accurately, even in challenging lighting conditions. Designed with HDTV and widescreen cameras in mind, the Video 25 Plus Fluid Head includes a viewfinder extension bracket as a standard accessory, enhancing its professional utility.

The EFP 2 Carbon Fiber Tripod Legs are a testament to Sachtler's commitment to durability and lightweight design. Crafted from one-piece carbon fiber, these legs offer twist resistance and are lighter than traditional aluminum without sacrificing strength. The tripod features a 150mm bowl and 22mm diameter tubes, coupled with Sachtler's quick clamping system, ensuring a secure and visible lock. The double extension design of the tripod not only provides exceptional stability but also allows for an extended height range, supporting an impressive payload of up to 209 lbs while maintaining a remarkably low weight of just 9.6 lbs.

Complementing the tripod is the versatile Mid-Level Spreader, designed for shooting on uneven surfaces such as slopes, rocky terrain, and steps. It attaches seamlessly to the tripod's center braces, facilitating rapid setup and breakdown without the need to detach the spreader, maintaining leg extension as needed for consistent stability.

For situations where dual spiked feet are unsuitable, such as on slippery surfaces, the included Rubber Feet attachments provide the necessary grip, ensuring your setup remains secure. These are recommended for tripods with an off-ground spreader and also for the Pedestal CII, enhancing the system's adaptability to various shooting environments.

Lastly, the Cover EFP 2 Hard Shipping Tube by Sachtler is the ideal solution for transporting and protecting your Video 25 Plus Fluid Head and EFP 2 tripod setup. This hard shipping tube is specifically designed to safeguard your equipment, ensuring that it arrives at your location in pristine condition, ready for the next shoot.

In summary, the Video 25 Plus Fluid Head with EFP 2 3-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod and Mid-Level Spreader is a professional-grade system that offers unparalleled support, stability, and ease of use for serious videographers and photographers who demand the best from their equipment.
