Sachtler FSB 16T Mk II Fluid Head

The Sachtler FSB 16T Mk II is a 100mm fluid head for payloads up to 16kg. 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.
