Smooth Movements At Speed

The Aktiv8T fluid head with unique SpeedLevel technology has the ability to be levelled at speed, perfect when filming for documentary, corporate, news or wildlife videography. Further to this, the SpeedSwap system enables the user to exchange their camera system between tripod and slider in seconds; vital for gaining multiple angles within a short time-frame.

Versatility At Its Best

Combining the Aktiv8T and flowtech75, no bowl clamp is required. This allows the flowtech to be flattened to the ground for extreme low-angle shots; possible through the functional hinge lock mechanism of flowtech. The Sachtler Aktiv8T flowtech 75 MS is capable of an incredibly wide height-range; with MS, this is 79 cm to 174 cm. This 2-stage carbon fibre flowtech tripod has exceptionally high torsional stiffness (less bend and more rigid in extreme conditions). When on the move, the Aktiv8T's ergonomic design means that it is comfortable to carry, on the shoulder or carry handle; legs held together via magnetic lock to further aid transportation.

Mid-Level Spreader System

The Sachtler flowtech75 Mid-level Spreader allows for fast and stable setup in narrow spaces and on uneven terrain. This is due to its small form and 4 locking positions; central locking knob further enables fast repositioning. This allows you to work on uneven surfaces such as stairs or rocks; the MS then prevents the legs from spreading. Also, when using the MS, you can include rubber feet to protect surfaces from the tripod's spiked feet.

Built To Withstand All Weather

This tripod system is made for extreme/outdoor photography and videography. Deployed and adjusted at speed, the Sachtler Aktiv8T flowtech 75 MS Tripod System utilises dual spikes (or rubber feet) at the foot of each leg for superior grip and when working on softer ground. Also, the Sachtler Padded Bag is designed to carry either the flowtech 75 or TT tripod equipped with an FSB fluid head. It is constructed with water-resistant Cordura nylon and can be carried either by the interlocking handles or adjustable shoulder strap.

FAQs:

Can the mid-level system be removed and replaced when required?

Yes, the Sachtler Aktiv8T flowtech75 MS Tripod System utilises a removable mid-level spreader system. When attached, it allows for fast and stable setup in narrow spaces and on uneven terrain, and when detached, the tripod system allows you to capture extremely low-level footage and in more extreme environments or on uneven ground.

What is the height range of the Sachtler Aktiv8T flowtech 75 MS Tripod System?

With MS attached, the height range is 79 cm to 174 cm and when this is removed, the height range is slightly lessened. By detaching the MS, the flowtech can be flattened to the ground for extreme low-angle photography and videography.
