Sachtler Video 75 Plus Studio

Description

The Sachtler Video 75 Plus Studio is a professional heavy-duty studio and broadcast fluid head engineered for large cinema, broadcast, and television camera systems. With a payload range of 12–85 kg (26–187 lb), the Video 75 Plus Studio is built to provide precise camera support and exceptionally smooth movement for demanding production environments.

Professional Fluid Damping

The Video 75 Plus Studio features Sachtler’s frictionless fluid damping system with nine levels of horizontal and vertical drag, plus a zero-drag setting. This allows the operator to precisely control the resistance of pan and tilt movements.

When rapid camera movement is required, the drag can be disengaged without changing the counterbalance setting, allowing fast pans while maintaining proper camera support.

24-Step Counterbalance

The 24-step counterbalance system with Boost Button provides a broad adjustment range for balancing different camera configurations.

The 145 mm sliding camera plate allows the camera package to be positioned precisely over the head’s center of gravity. Proper balancing helps maintain smooth movement and prevents the camera from unexpectedly tipping forward or backward during operation.

Heavy-Duty Studio Design

Unlike conventional ball-bowl tripod heads, the Video 75 Plus Studio uses an integrated flat base designed for heavy-duty studio, pedestal, and outside-broadcast support systems.

This makes it particularly suitable for large professional cameras and accessories where maximum stability is required.
