What you'd use it for
Working in the field calls for gear that is durable enough to go where you need it to, and versatile enough to do what you need it to. The Sachtler Video 20 S1 introduces an even wider payload range and an innovative, Speedbalance system for fast weight compensation. The wider range enables lightweight DSLR cameras to be used but it can also handle heavier ENG and EFP camcorders; switching between these payloads is made easy with the intuitive Boost Button.
EFP and ENG TV crews will love the excellent seven level drag properties, the Touch & Go function for speedy mounting and removal, robust temperature resistance, parking positions for spare camera screws and the self-illuminating bubble level. The Sachtler Video 20 S1 is designed to work as fast as you do.

All three configurations carry the same Video 20 S1 fluid head. The Configuration selector chooses the legs, and the values follow Sachtler's package naming: CF is carbon fibre, HD is heavy-duty and SL is SpeedLock.
HD CF (2072S1) and HD MCF (2073S1) are supplied on the Sachtler ENG 2 CF Heavy-Duty Carbon Fibre Tripod, which handles up to 95 kg while providing the lightweight, durable design that helps crews all over the world create amazing results in a range of environments. The carbon fibre design is stable and twist resistant, the quick clamping system makes it simple to setup and start working safely, and the dual extension provides a maximum height of 161 cm along with a transport length of 75 cm and a weight of 4 kg. A built-in transport safety cord prevents the legs from opening while you are moving the tripod.
SL HD MCF (2075S1) is supplied on the Sachtler SpeedLock Heavy-Duty Carbon Fibre Tripod, which gives you the same speed and simplicity with a maximum load of 95 kg, a solution optimised for intense EFP and film productions. The dual-extractible SpeedLock CF HD features a patented three-step clamping system that locks the legs in place in seconds and allows you to make smooth and secure adjustments even with your camera mounted, and the clamping connection forms a third tube to further help you stay balanced. Maximum height is 161 cm, weight 4.5 kg and transport length 75 cm.
