Sachtler Video 15 PLUS

Description

The Sachtler Video 15 PLUS is a professional heavy-duty fluid-head tripod system designed for ENG, documentary, broadcast, commercial, and professional video production. Combining a precision Sachtler fluid head with a stable 100mm tripod system, it provides smooth camera movement, reliable counterbalance, and the stability required for larger professional camera packages.

The Video 15 PLUS is particularly well suited for cameras such as the Sony FX6, Sony FX9, Sony FS7, Blackmagic URSA, and other professional cinema and broadcast cameras when equipped with appropriate accessories and lenses.

Fluid Head Performance

The Video 15 PLUS uses a professional fluid-damping system to provide controlled and consistent camera movement. Multiple drag settings allow the operator to adjust the resistance of the pan and tilt movements according to the camera configuration and shooting style.

Its counterbalance system helps keep the camera properly balanced when tilting, reducing the tendency of a front- or rear-heavy camera package to drop suddenly.

The sliding camera plate provides additional adjustment for balancing different camera bodies, lenses, batteries, matte boxes, and accessories.

100mm Bowl System

The 100mm bowl interface provides a strong and stable connection between the fluid head and tripod legs while allowing fast leveling during setup.

This makes the Video 15 PLUS a practical choice for professional production environments where the camera needs to be assembled and leveled quickly.

Why Rent the Sachtler Video 15 PLUS?

The Sachtler Video 15 PLUS provides the stability and precision expected from professional Sachtler support equipment without requiring a much larger studio tripod system. Its strong payload capacity, 100mm bowl, adjustable counterbalance, and smooth fluid movement make it an excellent choice for professional camera operators working with medium-to-heavy camera configurations.

For productions using long lenses or heavier cinema configurations, the Video 15 PLUS provides significantly more stability than lightweight photographic tripods while maintaining the fast setup and portability expected from professional video support equipment.
