Review Summary

Rated 5 out of 5

The gold standard for a reason

I spent a long time agonizing over which tripod to use as my main set of sticks. As a result, I have several pairs. Some of them still get used, but this one is the winner. It's light, reliable, and easy to use. I have an old O'Connor head which is also awesome, but when switching setups from light to heavy, the O'Connors dial-based balance can be annoying because it takes a long time to set. The O'Connor does allow for perfect balance at any weight WITHOUT setting any fluid drag, something the Sachtler cannot do. But as far as speed goes, the Sachtler wins, and sometimes that can make all the difference.

Amazing sticks and head

Discover the pinnacle of professional camera support with the Sachtler aktiv10 Sideload Fluid Head System, paired with the revolutionary flowtech100 Tripod and Ground Spreader. Engineered for the discerning filmmaker and photographer, this system is an exemplary choice for medium-sized camcorders and digital cine cameras, accommodating setups up to 12 kg (26.5 lbs.) with ease.

The aktiv10 Fluid Head is a marvel of innovation, featuring the unique SpeedLevel technology that allows for rapid and precise leveling, ensuring that you're always ready to capture the perfect shot, whether you're on location for a documentary, corporate event, news broadcast, or in the wild tracking wildlife. The SpeedSwap system is a game-changer, offering the fastest way to transition between tripod and slider, maximizing your shooting flexibility and efficiency.

With 15 distinct counterbalance steps, the aktiv10 provides meticulous balancing for your camera, while the sideload mechanism boasts an extensive sliding range of 120 mm, facilitating swift and effortless camera loading and positioning.

The illuminated PrismBubble is ingeniously designed for both top and side viewing, making leveling a breeze from any angle or height, adding to the user-friendly experience. The aktiv10's robust construction doesn't compromise on weight, maintaining a lightweight profile at just 6.8 kg (15 lbs.), making it a durable and portable addition to your gear.

The flowtech100 Tripod is a testament to innovation, crafted from carbon fiber for unmatched torsional stiffness and lightweight performance. Its unique quick-release brakes are designed for instantaneous deployment and adjustment, ensuring you never miss a moment. The ergonomic design of the tripod promises comfortable handling, whether you're carrying it on your shoulder or by the handle, ready for your next creative venture.

This system's versatility is further enhanced by the ability to achieve extreme low-angle shots, thanks to the hinge lock mechanism that allows the flowtech100 to lay flat on the ground. The tripod's expansive height range is facilitated by a 2-stage design, ensuring you can capture the widest array of shots in the shortest time frame.

The included ground spreader features foot controls for quick adjustments, enhancing stability on any terrain. When it's time to pack up, the magnetic lock system secures the legs together, streamlining transportation and storage.
