Sachtler aktiv18T Fluid Head

Sachtler aktiv18T Fluid Head

The Sachtler aktiv18T is a 100mm fluid head with the power to support payloads up to 18kg despite weighing just 3.4kg. Fifteen steps of counterbalance allow you to finely match your camera rig and quickly dial in balance time after time. Seven steps of Sachtler drag ensure smooth movement at all speeds and in any environment, while the Touch & Go platform allows one-handed mounting of the camera into a preset position, so you’re always ready to capture the next shot.

Never miss the shot. aktiv fluid heads feature revolutionary SpeedLevel™ technology. Release, level and lock your head tightly into the perfect position without missing a second of action. Clear confirmation that the camera is level comes from the illuminated PrismBubble visible from any height or angle – day or night.

Go lower than ever. aktiv and flowtech combine to provide a flexible one tripod solution delivering the widest height range. With no bowl clamp required, aktiv heads allow flowtech® tripods to go flat to the ground for the perfect low-angle shot.

Stay fast for ultimate creativity. aktiv fluid heads feature the unique SpeedSwap™ system, allowing lightning-fast camera swaps from a tripod to a slider without missing a beat. The perfect camera movement is just a SpeedSwap™ away.

Ready for anything. aktiv is precision engineered with quality materials and to the industry renowned Sachtler standard to create a premium system. Tested in extreme ranges of temperature and humidity, with aktiv you’ll be ready for action.
