Rated 5 out of 5

Sachtler Akiv8 FTW

I love this Tripod system. It?s lightweight, small enough to make it easy to travel with and most importantly, the fastest system I?ve worked with. I use it with my Sony FX6 system and am so pleased with all of its functions. Highly recommend it for doc work, sports, tight travel schedules, solo-operator, etc...

Perfect for the RED Komodo.

I have really enjoyed this fluid head paired with the Sachtler flowtech Carbon Fiber Tripod. The setup is a breeze and can be done in seconds.
